Miodrag Mića Popović

Miodrag Mića Popović (Serbian: Миодраг Мића Поповић) is a Serbian artist and filmmaker.

Popović studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, and has had solo exhibitions since 1952. He painted in the Informalist style, associative abstract landscapes in a combined technique, sometimes placing fragments of other materials in the structure of the painting.

In 1947 Popović formed the famous "Zadar Group", whose work was initially considered destructive by the authorities.

In the 1960s, Popović made several films for which he wrote the scripts himself. He became a permanent member of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in 1985, and since 1987 an associate member of the Academy of Arts in Berlin, and is the recipient of numerous awards.
