Roman Petrović (1896, in Donji Vakuf – 1947) was a Yugoslav painter and writer.
He belongs to the generation of artists who created the history of Bosnian-Herzegovinian (and Yugoslav) painting between the two world wars.
[1] Born to an ethnic Ukrainian-Polish family, he was a graduate of the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, his expressionist art emphasises social themes,[2] borrowing from diverse influences.
[3][4] The Association of Artists of Bosnia and Herzegovina named its gallery, opened in 1980, Galerija Roman Petrović in honour of the painter.
The gallery is a main venue for contemporary art and photography exhibitions.
