Dimitrije Popović

He attended elementary and high school in his hometown and graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 1976 in the class of professor Šime Perić.

In 1978 Davrier exhibited Popović's works at the Alexander Braumüller gallery with the paintings of Salvador Dalí, Ernst Fuchs, Leonor Fini, Mati Klarwein, Victor Brauner, and Miodrag Djuric - Dado (painter), another distinguished artist from Montenegro.

The Liberty Gallery and Universal Fine Arts of Washington prepared in 1982 a combined exhibition of prints and other graphic works of Dalí and Popović in Pforzheim.

His crucifixions entitled "Corpus mysticum" were exhibited in Rome in Sant Andrea al Quirinale, Santa Maria del Popolo, and the Pantheon on the occasion of the celebration of two thousand years of Christianity.

Croatian art critic Tonko Maroević wrote: “Popović’s achievement in his interpretation of the Biblical motif is first and foremost to be found in the universality of meaning, the transfer of temporally and spatially limited event into the general idiom of visual signs of the body.
