Radovan Kraguly worked in a wide range of media, including drawing, painting, print, sculpture, film and performance From 1999 to 2001 he worked on the concept of the Dairy Cow Museum, a proposal for a museum examining farming practice and relationships between humans and cows that inspired a significant body of art work. In Wales he created important works concentrating on cultural relationships between animals and people. Radovan and Nena Radovanovic, an art historian whom he had met in Paris, married in Builth Wells in 1985 and they spent some of their happiest times there. Between the 1970s and 2010 his life and work alternated between mid-Wales and Paris. In the early 1970s, Radovan first visited Wales and soon bought a farmhouse deep in the countryside near Builth Wells. In 1962-63 he attended the London Central School of Arts and Crafts on a grant from the British Council. Eventually he was encouraged to apply to the Belgrade Academy of Fine Art, and studied there from 1953 to 1960. He worked in the accounts office, where his talent for drawing was spotted. Returning home to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Radovan went to two military-run schools before being conscripted into the army at 13. Radovan was deported with his mother and six siblings to a concentration camp in Cologne in Germany they all survived the war. During the second world war, Dragoje was transported to the Nazi concentration camp at Zemun, near Belgrade, where he died. He was born and brought up on a small farm near Prijedor in the former Yugoslavia, now Bosnia-Herzegovina, the son of Dragoje, a miner, and Mileva (nee Radulovic), a housewife. His work was meticulously crafted, even though the subject matter was often dealing with forces threatening our culture. Radovan worked in a wide range of media, including drawing, painting, print, sculpture, film and performance. He lived in Wales from the 1970s and it was there that he developed his ideas on what we would now call climate politics. My friend and colleague Radovan Kraguly, who has died aged 87 from complications related to Parkinson’s disease, was one of the first artists in the UK to make the case for harmony between animals and people.
