Veno Pilon

Veno Pilon (September 22 1896 - September 23 1970) was a Slovene expressionist painter, graphic artist and photographer.

Pilon was born in Ajdovščina, then part of the Austro-Hungarian province of Gorizia and Gradisca (now in Slovenia). After graduating from the prestigious "gymasium" of Gorizia, he was drafted by the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War I. He fought on the Eastern front and was captured by the Russian army. He later described his experience as a prisoner of war in the autobiography "Na robu" ("On the Edge"). He returned to Ajdovščina in 1919, where he took up painting.

In the late 1920s Pilon moved to Paris where he explored photography.

He died in Ajdovščina.
