Zoran Music (1909-2005) was a Slovenian painter and graphic artist. A survivor of the Holocaust, he is best known for "We Are Not the Last," a series of paintings for which he drew on his experience as a prisoner at Dachau as a way to work through the terrible human tragedy. Music's later work is characterized by intense concentration on just a few subjects: deeply shadowed portraits, stark landscapes of Dalmatia and Italy, and bright cityscapes depicting his adopted home city of Venice.
