Mersad Berber (1940-2012)

Hailed as one of the greatest and most distinctive painters and graphic artists in the world, Mersad Berber was born in Bosanski Petrovac in 1940. He studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, and later became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo. His works chronicled Bosnia, reflecting the multi-layered cultural history.

An honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts, he has received approximately 50 awards and he has had exhibits in cities all over the world, from London and Madrid, New York to Moscow, Jakarta and New Delhi.

Experts consider him to be one of the greatest post-Classic artists in the world. His most significant projects were “Chronicles of Sarajevo”, “A Trip to Skender Vakuf”, “Srebrenica”, “A Homage to Vlaho Bukovac”, and “Ottoman Chronicles” among others.

One of our artists-in-residence, O Museum In The Mansion is proud to have curated his first exhibit in the U.S. at The World Bank in 1982.
