Stojan Aralica
Stojan Aralica (b. Škare, Lika, 24 December 1883 – d. Belgrade, Serbia, 4 February 1980) was a Serbian Impressionist painter and academic.During his education in Munich portraits and nudes prevailed thematically, and were in a form close to academism and the late echoes of the Secession.Joining the active local artistic mainstream, he turned away from the decorative and towards pursuing a purely visual interest.The necessary refinement ended in the next, the Zagreb period (1933–1941) when Aralica rejoined the current trends in his home country.He contributed to the further development of contemporary art in the second half of the twentieth century with a series of significant works painted in the years after World War II.
