Ivan Meštrović (* 15. August 1883 in Vrpolje, Kroatien; † 16. Januar 1962 in South Bend, Indiana, USA) war ein Bildhauer und Architekt. Er war Professor der Bildhauerei an der University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana.
Ivan Meštrović wurde in der Eisenbahnstation Strizivojna nahe der Ortschaft Vrpolje in Slawonien geboren. Seine Eltern Ivan Meštrović-Gabrilović und Marta Kurobasa befanden sich gerade in Slawonien zur Maisernte. Gleich nach der Geburt fuhren die Eltern von Ivan Meštrović zurück in das Dorf Otavice nahe Drniš, in dem Ivan Meštrović seine Kindheit verbrachte.
Nach seinem Studium in den Jahren 1907 bis 1909 an der Kunstakademie Wien lebte Meštrović einige Jahre in Paris. Zwischen den beiden Weltkriegen lehrte er als Kunstprofessor an der Kunstakademie Zagreb. In dieser Zeit schuf er unter anderem das Strossmayer-Denkmal in Zagreb, das Denkmal Grgur Ninski in Split und das Indianer-Denkmal in Chicago.
Im Jahr 1947 emigrierte Meštrović in die USA.
Meštrović werden starke Beeinflussungen der Strömungen der europäischen und nordamerikanischen Künste zugeschrieben. Selbst angeregt vom Pariser Expressionismus und der Wiener Secession, tragen seine Werke Züge der attischen Völker und der Renaissanceskulpturen des Michelangelo, zugleich stärkt er aber auch die Tradition seines eigenen Volkes.
Die Galerie Meštrović (Palast und Kastellan) in Split und das Atelier Meštrović in Zagreb beherbergen eine Vielzahl seiner Arbeiten. Die Marmor-Reliefarbeit „Das Mädchen von Kosovo“ (1908) im Volksmuseum Belgrad wurde auf dem alten jugoslawischen 50-Dinar-Schein (um 1980) abgebildet. Zu seinen Hauptarbeiten zählen das Mausoleum Meštrović in Otavice, die Römische Pietà (1942–1946) und der Jakobsbrunnen (1957), beide im Gefüge der Universität Notre Dame (USA), sowie das Bronzedenkmal Grgur Ninski (1927) in Split.
Das Grab von Ivan Meštrović befindet sich etwa zehn Kilometer vom südkroatischen Ort Drniš entfernt. Es befindet sich auf einem Hügel im Dorf Otavice. Neben Meštrović befinden sich im Mausoleum auch die sterblichen Überreste seiner Familienangehörigen.

Tony Šantić (October 17, 1952 in Lastovo, Croatia) is a noted Australian thoroughbred owner and tuna farmer. He came to Australia with his family in 1958 when he was 6 years of age. His parents settled in Geelong, Victoria for the next 8 years before Tony & his mother moved to Port Lincoln. [1]

[edit] Early life

Tony Šantić started with a leaky boat, fishing for the prized orange roughie in Tasmania, then gaining initial success in tuna fishing at Port Lincoln. Times were slightly tough in the early 1990s, when tuna quotas were reduced twice, sending a number of related businesses into financial hardship and shutting down others. It was a minor struggle for Tony to prevent the bank evicting him and his children from their Port Lincoln home only 12 years ago.
Tuna farming turned around the economics of tuna fishing about seven years ago, enhancing the fortunes of the Santic family even more. Now Tony's Tuna International is the second biggest tuna farming operation in Port Lincoln. Slightly lower than usual times in the tuna industry, in 1997, Tony decided to pursue his interest in horses and racing, which, at first, was just a hobby but is now a business.
The colours of his forebears' country, Croatia, gave him the colours for his livery, royal blue and white stars and red and white checks.
Tony keeps his horses at a large stable property called Smytzers Lodge. The name 'Smytzer' owes a lot to Australian humour. The story goes that fellow fisherman Sime (Sam) Sarin working with Tony on a tuna poling boat in the early days of tuna fishing coined the name for Tony's car, an old Valiant Pacer or Bitzer, hence `Smytzer'.
