A famous sculptor was born in Osijek in 1906 as Oskar Neumann, in a very prominent Osijek Jewish family. Despite being largely self-taught, he staged two exhibitions of portraits and figurative work while still at secondary school. He was only 18 when Ivan Meštrović encouraged him to study in Paris, but he chose Vienna. There he set up his own studio and there his uncle owned a bronze factory, where he could cast his work.. He moved to Brussels in 1925 to study sculpture at the Académie des Beaux Arts where he won the Gold Medal. During the late 1920s and early 1930s,he also experimented with Constructivism and Cubism.Two major exhibitions in 1930 and at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Bruxelles in 1932, led to portraying Albert I and Queen Astrid, the politician Van de Velde and many prominent Belgians. He moved to England in 1936. In London he met Patricia Villiers Stuart. They had 3 children: son Falcon and daughters Aurelia and Electra. World War II was a period of intense personal tragedy for him - his mother, brother and grandmother and almost all his extended family died in the Holocaust. Themes of loss are expressed in his compositions Heredity (displayed in the Nemon Studio) and Humanity, his memorial to the Jewish population of Osijek, which he donated to the town in 1967. Nemon sculpted and portrayed many famous persons: Sigmund Freud, Winston Churchill, many British lords and the entire Royal Family, General Eisenhower, Field Marshal Montgomery, Lady Thatcher. Churchill and Nemon established a close relationship during the portraying sessions. His last model in 1985 was Diana, Princess of Wales. Nemon modelled in clay, directly from life, subsequently casting his work first in plaster and then in bronze. He died  in 1985 in Oxford.
