Biography: The romantic/dramatic episode which determined the life of Anka Krizmanić had already started before her birth, with a great scandal which her mother caused to the family. She was a Gušić, a member of the ancient Croatian nobility, and she eloped with a village schoolmaster Josip Sivoš, whom she married, much to her family's dismay. Her two daughters, the future painter Anka, and the younger, Jelka, bore the surname of Sivoš. When Anka was five, her father died. Her mother's family then took mercy on the widow with two small children, but only on condition that the "commoner" Hungarian surname of Sivoš be replaced by the surname of one of her noble ancestors. Thus Anka Sivoš became Anka Krizmanić. Her talent was identified very early by her tutor F. de Žigrović Pretočki who took care that she was given a professional arts teacher when she was seven. She developed into an outstanding Croatian painter and graphic artist, creating an opus of over 6,000 registered works. She made drawings for the Institute of Anatomy and Biology, Zagreb University School of Medicine (1931-1939, and 1946-1951).
