Antun Gojak was born in Makarska (Croatia) in 1907. He enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1927 and graduated in 1936 in Prof Marin Tartaglia’s class.
He spent the period just before the WWII as a drawing teacher at high schools in Mostar and Slavonski Brod.
The restless and insecure years of WWII were crucial for his further life, and he returned permanently to his hometown by the end of the WWII and devoted exclusively to painting. He created in his own atelier and occasionally exhibited his works.
Antun Gojak mostly painted works of homeland themes with recognizable motifs of landscape and everyday life of people living in Makarska and the Littoral.
