Ljubomir Ivanović

Ljubomir "Ljuba" Ivanović (Belgrade, Kingdom of Serbia. 24 February 1882 – Belgrade, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, 23 November 1945) was a Serbian painter, printmaker and draughtsman. He is considered one of the first Serbian impressionists, although he found his way of expression through graphic means.[1]

Biography

After completing his secondary education, Ljubomir Ivanović studied at Kiril Kutlík's Serbian School of Drawing and Painting, and later at the Arts and Crafts School of Beta Vukanović and Risto Vukanović in Belgrade. In 1905, he went to Munich and enrolled at the private painting school of Anton Ažbe, and in the same year the Kunstgewerbeschule.[2]


After his return to the homeland, he was, first, appointed as a teacher in a grammar school. When the war began, Ivanović was mobilized, but because of his poor health, he was made a hospital orderly. He stayed with the Serbian army through most of the retreat, stopped in Prizren in late 1915. After this, he returned to Belgrade. Not surprisingly, he had little time to paint at a time of occupation. There was always that worry of being accused of spying. The wartime painting that he did consists of genre scenes unrelated to the war. He did, however, manage to produce a couple of works, a line drawing entitled "Flight" (Beg) in 1915, that captures the moment of the retreating army, and an equally powerful "Fallen Soldier" from the same period.[3]

After the war, he became a professor of drawing in the Arts and Crafts School in Belgrade. In 1922 he became a member of Serbian Royal Academy (later Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts).

He traveled through the country and abroad with another artist Vasa Pomorišac and made drawings that were published in several specially edited albums. He was a member of the "Lada" artist's group.

From 1940 to 1945, he was a full-time professor of graphics and printmaking at Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade.[4]

gollark: You probably want to revert that when the program *exits*.
gollark: > Which is exactly what they wanted here!Not necessarily, this actually does sound like a case where they might want each task to run in its own coroutines (or would, if their pathfinding did yields).
gollark: I mean, it's great for very simple situations where you want to run two things at once in the simplest case, but often projects want to run a listener "thread" and temporarily spawn tasks to handle them or something and this ends up being constantly reinvented.
gollark: > Thanks for that gollark :/.You're welcome! It would be useful if there was an API for this! Perhaps I could simplify some of my stuff and make a PR!
gollark: Parallel isn't great because you can't add an extra task after it starts.
