Petar Dobrović (Serbian Cyrillic: Петар Добровић; pronounced [pêtar dǒːbroʋitɕ]; 14 January 1890 – 27 January 1942) was a Serbian painter and politician.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Dobrović was born in Pécs, Kingdom of Hungary. A proponent of Serbian colorism, he was known for portraits and landscapes. He had earlier worked in impressionism and cubism.

He was briefly the President of a short-lived, small Serbian-Hungarian Baranya-Baja Republic in 1921, and later lived in Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

He died during the German occupation of Belgrade during the Second World War while in the elevator of the apartment building he lived in at 36 King Peter Street during a raid. He noticed the raid on the street and died while attempting to return to his flat. He is interred in the Belgrade New Cemetery.
