Miro Musulin, born in Croatia in 1930, graduated from the Belgrade and Zagreb Academies of Fine Art. In 1961, he earned a Master of Arts degree from the Zagreb, Academy of Fine Art. He held the position of Professor of Art for seven years in Zagreb, teaching on a level equivalent to Junior College in the United States. He was commissioned by the republic of Croatia to design, build, and erect various statues, memorial busts, bas reliefs and monuments in Yugoslavia in 1962.
Shortly after his arrival in the United States in 1965 he received a permanent resident status. Professor Musulin taught at the International Institute of Greater Bridgeport, Inc., the Silver-mine School of the Arts, and continues to teach in his own studio in Westport, Conn. He is primarily a classical sculptor using what he calls "real" materials....marble, granite, wood, bronze and terra cotta....because he feels they are most adaptable to the themes of his work which have universal appeal. These do include motherhood, refugees, widows, dancers, children at play, torsos, and others motifs from life including portrait busts.
