About: Jelena Dorotka
Jelena Dorotka Hoffmann née Jelena Dorotka von Ehrenwall (1 March 1876 – 19 May 1965) was a Dubrovniknian cubist painter. Dorotka, a native of Dubrovnik, lived as an artist in Paris between 1907 and 1914, where she met many prominent figures of modern art, and became the first Croatian cubist painter. After her return to Dubrovnik in 1922, she lived a largely anonymous life, and was virtually forgotten after her death. Her opus is only partially preserved. In the 21st century, the interest in her life and work has been revived.
