Natalija Cvetković

She enrolled at the newly established Rista Vukanović Serbian Drawing and Painting School and spent five years learning art technique with Beta Vukanović and theory with Svetozar Zorić, and Branislav Petronijević.

[2] As a Fellow of the Ministry of Education, she continued her studies at Munich's Kunstgewerbeschule from 1905 to 1908 and then spent six months at the Académie Julian in Paris from the end of 1908 to mid-1909.

[2] As a student of Beta Vukanović, Cvetković based her artistic beginnings on work in nature, such as French plenaries, where she worked on drawings and watercolors of landscapes in full daylight, which decisively determined her further artistic movement.

She was also influenced by viewing the French Impressionists at the Luxembourg Museum during her short stay in Paris.

Her small impressionistic cycle of paintings, created on her return to Belgrade, is considered to be at the very top of Serbian modernism.
