LJUBA POPOVIC (born 1934 in Tuzla)
One of the creators of the surrealist movement in Belgrade and the head of Serbian painters in Paris. After the study of beaux arts in Belgrade, Popovic had in 1960 created an avant-garde group named Mediala together with dome friends. At that time his aggrieved style mixing a quasi pointillist technique and the great rectangular surfaces had already been known. He had settled in Paris thereafter and had organized the exhibitions throughout the world.

Ljuba Popovic had put up an agitated painting mixing the female body, architecture and surrealist forms in the compositions of a rare colour intensity. Since then there appeared a taking into relation the longing and the death, of purity and chaos, of microcosm and macrocosm. The underneath and imminent forces have been ready to emerge at the limiting line giving to the motives a subversive architectural character, the world order has been merely apparent to Ljuba. He only required to be excited by the human tragedy. This painter constantly is making very frequent exhibitions in Paris.
