Franc Berneker (October 4, 1874 – May 16, 1932)[1] was a 19th- and early-20th-century Slovene tomb sculptor, who had a strong impact on Slovenj Gradec[2] gaining recognition for his work in bronze, marble and monuments.[3] His art focus went from realism[4] to modernism[5] to psychology, drama and an exploration of the relationship between worked and unworked, smooth and rough.[6] He studied with Edmund von Hellmer at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts[7] and Ivan Zajec on monuments of national heroes[8][9] His art work is displayed at the Resau Art Nouveau Network.[10]
