Tin Ujević

Augustin Ujević, known as Tin, was born on 5 July 1891 in Vrgorac, in Dalmatia, and grew up in Imotski and Makarska. He attended secondary school in Split, then studied in Zagreb, where he frequented the bohemian circle gathered around Antun Gustav Matoš. A militant of the nationalist Yugoslav youth, arrested in 1912 and sentenced to three years of banishment, he reached Paris the following year and spent the war there in destitution. He then lived in Belgrade, then between Split and Zagreb, without steady employment. From 1921 he stopped signing with his full first name, and died in Zagreb on 12 November 1955.
