Bogdanić, Peruško, Croatian sculptor (Stari Grad on Hvar, 1949).
 He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1976 (Vjekoslav Rukljač), where he taught from 1995 and from 2007 as a full professor, he was dean from 2012 to 2014.

Joining postmodernist movements, he created an opus mainly in wood (Corto Maltese, 1987; Virgil's Candle, 1990) and stone (Holy Grail, 1994; Sword of King Arthur and Parsifal, 1995), in which, summarizing the form in search of a mythical prototype , "Totem form", added to the late modernist primary, pure form, giving it symbolic features, often from historical and mythological sources, but without narrative details close to postmodern. Confronting the constructivist approach with associative, organic forms, he opened new avenues for sculptural reflections at the end of the 20th century (cycle Shah mat lak, 2010).
