Marko Brežanin (1885-1956) was a sculptor from Montenegro who made an immeasurable contribution to the development of Serbian culture and art.
Born in Spič, Montenegro, Brežanin is best known to the general public for the relief of Montenegro measuring 17x19 meters, which he made in 1916 and which was placed in Billiards in Cetinje.
Brežanin left his native Spič in 1900, worked as a stonecutter in Sofia, went to the School of Arts and Crafts in Ljubljana in 1906, and continued his studies in 1910 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, where he held his first solo exhibition in 1913.
His intensive creative activity began in Belgrade in 1919, where he began sculpting, became a member of the Cvijeta Zuzorić Art Pavilion, and the Association of Fine Artists, better known by its acronym ULUS, his work appeared in exhibitions alongside sculptures by the great Pešić, Djourdjević, Stojanović, Jovanović, Arambašić, Stijović, Roksandić.[1]

- Archibald Reiss,[2]
- Jovan Cvijić and
- Uroš Predić he also worked on monuments in:
- Štitar,

"The most important characteristics of Brežanin's art are the unity of volume and detail, love and effort to emphasize the psychological characteristics of the person and create such a portrait, a vital plastic expression that conquers art lovers with its masterful craftsmanship," wrote Nikola Vujošević in his anthology book "MEMENTO-Montenegrin Modern art ”.
Marko Brežanin was a great sculptor. Though modest, he was aware of it and kept it to himself. We were especially impressed by the fact that he made sculptures directly from wood, and even harder, from stone. Other sculptors make models out of plaster or wax, then continue sculpting, and Marko directly carves the stone. Only great masters can do that, truly great talents ", Vojo Stanić recalled one meeting with Brežanin during his studies in Belgrade.
