Bruno Zac (1906-1985) was an Italian-Australian sculptor who is best known for his works in bronze and stone. He was born in Venice and trained as a sculptor in Italy before emigrating to Australia in the 1930s.

Settling in Tasmania, where he established a studio, Zac began producing sculptures that reflected his interest in the human form and the natural world. He was particularly interested in capturing movement and energy in his works, and his sculptures often featured fluid, organic forms that seemed to be in motion.

His early works were influenced by Italian Renaissance art, and he was particularly inspired by the works of Michelangelo and Donatello. However, he soon developed his own unique style, which combined classical and modernist influences to create sculptures that were both timeless and contemporary.

Zac's sculptures were characterized by their attention to detail and their emphasis on the human figure. more...
