More information
Milić Stanković (1934 – 2000), känd under sitt konstnärliga namn Milić od Mačve, var en framstående serbisk konstnär. Milić kom att kallas för Serbiens Salvador Dali för hans figurativa, surrealistiska målningar fyllda av fantasi och drömmar med imaginära scener.
Milić kom i kontakt med konsten och måleriet först under andra året på gymnasiet, då en professor vid namn Đorđe Kostić grundade en konstförening på skolan. Kostić uppmärksammade Milićs konstnärliga känsla och hjälpte honom till ett flertal utställningar i staden.
På grund av fattigdom beslutade hans föräldrar att hans utbildning skulle fortsätta på Militärakademin i Belgrad. Milić blev antagen, men lyckades i sista stund övertyga sina föräldrar om att arkitektur istället skulle vara bättre för honom och mer lovande för framtiden.
På Arkitektskolan undervisades han av konstnären Pivo Karamatijević. Året därpå klarade Milić inträdesprovet till Academy of Fine Arts i Belgrad från vilken han tog examen 1959. Samma år fick han sin första separatutställning, där en erkänd och kunnig konstsamlare från Genève, Herbert Beck, köpte sju målningar för 770 000 serbiska dinar, en betydande summa vid tiden.
Artist
Milić Stanković (1934 – 2000), known by his artistic name Milić od Mačve, was a Serbian artist. Milić was an interesting personality in Serbian art and was often referred to as Serbia's Salvador Dali for his figurative surrealist paintings filled with fantasy and dreams with imaginary scenes.
Milić was introduced to painting in the second year of high school, when a professor named Đorđe Kostić founded an art association in the basement of the school. Kostić noticed Milić's artistic sense and helped him to several exhibitions in the city.
Because of poverty his parents decided that his education should continue at the Military Academy in Belgrade. Milić was accepted, but at the last moment managed to convince his parents that architecture would be better for him and more promising for the future. At the School of Architecture, he was taught by the artist Pivo Karamatijević. The following year, Milić passed the entrance exam to the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade. Milić graduated in 1959 and in the same year had his first solo exhibition, where a famous collector from Geneva, Herbert Beck, bought seven paintings for 770,000 Serbian dinars, a significant amount at the time.
