Biography
Biography
In 1905, Mihailo Milovanović enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, where he studied first under the direction of Ludwig von Herterich and then Hugo von Habermann, a painter renowned for his portraits. Milovanović graduated from the academy in 1909. Then, he went to the Prague Academy of Fine Arts where he found several compatriots. In 1912, Milovanović returned to Serbia when the First Balkan War broke out and joined the army as a volunteer. Other Serbian artists, including his colleagues Dragomir Glišić, Petar Ranosović, and Milan Milovanović were also painting and drawing on the front lines. In 1915 he participated in the difficult Serbian army's retreat through Albania. Mihailo Milovanović was killed in Užice at the end of November 1941 by Tito's Communist partisans who supposedly mistook him for an English spy. After the Second World War and in the days of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, he was completely overshadowed, his name was conveniently omitted in encyclopedias devoted to art. To add insult to injury, the art authorities in Belgrade attributed most of Mihailo Milovanović paintings to Milan Milovanović instead.
