Babić considered himself simply a painter engaged in graphic design in order to make a living and not starve while waiting for his work to sell.
[2] Miloš Babić was born in 1904 in Segedin, Austria-Hungary, where he enrolled in the School of Applied Arts, Department of Interior Architecture, in 1918, and graduated in 1921.
[5] Influenced by German art school Bauhaus, colleagues Lajos Kassák, and Ljubomir Micić, Babić's own experience in international constructivism and the understanding of postulates of modern advertising, were the driving force during the height of his creative period (the late 1920s to World War II).
Babić's oil paintings were done in Subotica between 1927 and 1937 with the intent to be displayed at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris in 1937.
In all these pictures Babić integrated content that would correspond to his poster drafts, especially in Fritz Lang's expressionist film Metropolis, that had а great influence оn him and his peers.
