Živojin Lukić

He studied art under the tutelage of professor Đorđe Jovanović at the School of Arts and Crafts in Belgrade, and then went on to study sculpture at the Academy of Architecture in Moscow from 1909 to 1913 with professor Nikolay Andreyev.

[2][3] During World War I, he was an artist for the Serbian High Command in Albania, producing various portrait medallions and commemorative plaques.

[2] Žika Lukić brought modern concepts to the Serbian sculpture of the third decade of the last century, especially in portrait art which was his main focus.

Gently relying on neo-Cubist style patterns, he used simple forms and clean lines that clearly defined the plastic features.

He produced two sculptures for the Yugoslav parliament building, entitled Commerce and History.
