Jovan Pešić
Early life and work
He was a self-taught artist when he first started to study art, sculpture and photography in a craft shop in Novi Sad. He studied under Đorđe Jovanović. In 1897 Pešić created an eight-page story in caricature (comic strip) showing a sculptor with clay in hand how he created a female figure that suddenly came alive when she began to dance with him. This was inspired by his relationship with Jovanović. More than three decades after his death, Pešić's eight-page strip was first published, in 1969, by the Belgrade's Museum of Applied Arts. Caricatures by Pešić were published in numerous newspapers and popular magazines like Vrača pogačaču, Zvono, and Bosnia and Balkans.[4][5]
Pešić fought as a volunteer in the
After the War
In the art of sculpture, he performed several realistic portraitures of famous historical figures, including poet Vojislav Ilić in 1903.[7] Since he spent most of his life in semi-seclusion and without sufficient orders for sculpting work, he was forced to devote himself to draw caricatures, which he published in various newspapers and comic books. At one time he was employed as a draftsman at the Ministry of Construction. His interest in political and social problems was very skillfully transferred to the level of the brutish satire, he reacted against various social distortions, snobbery, and communion.[6]
