Miodrag Vojić was born in Serbia in 1923. His studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade were interrupted by the war in 1944, but upon demobilisation in 1946 he continued post-graduate studies. He left Yugoslavia for the South of France around 1949. Perhaps this report from the Ministry of Education in Belgrade sheds some light on his decision to leave Yugoslavia:

“Miodrag Vojić, has not shown any progress in painting and has no prospect of improvement. In the National Youth, nothing works, on the contrary, his destructive attitude hinders the efforts of the Council and the National Youth on the path of proper development. Politically insecure.” (Translation from the Serbian courtesy of Google)

He settled in Cannes where he was also known as Michel Vojic and Vojic Milo. He founded the Association of Contemporary Artists of Cannes and the Cote d’Azur. He exhibited with, and was friends with, Hans Hartung, Arman, Cesar, Henri Goetz, Edouard Pignon, and many other artists. He died in 2004. We have several works by him available.
