Milo Milunovic
(b Cetinje, 6 Aug 1897; d Belgrade, 11 Feb 1967). Montenegrin painter. He studied painting with Alberto Giacometti in Florence. The influence of Giotto and the Italian Quattrocento is perceptible in his work. After World War I he spent some time in Paris, where he broke with his Impressionist practice under the influence of C?zanne and Cubism. He painted his most successful works between 1926 and 1932, for example Still-life with Violin (1930; Belgrade, N. Mus.). These works were characterized by a rationalistic approach, both to composition and space. Anti-illusionistic devices were used in the representation of space. The composition was rigid; it focused on primary visual elements and was built geometrically.
