French Ink + Gouache on Paper Painting No. 03 by Miodrag Vojić, 1950s
A Flash of Riviera Blue
Milo Vojic (1923 – 2004) – Untitled (Blue‑Note Figure), c. 1960
Ink & gouache on paper · signed V·j lower right · sheet 14 × 11 in
In a single looping line, Milo Vojic captures the languid poise of a sun‑dazed muse. Three colours—cobalt surf, inky shadow, warm plaster—are all he needs to bottle the Côte d’Azur’s midsummer light.
A brief history of the hand behind the line:
Born in Serbia in 1923, Miodrag “Milo” Vojic trained at the Belgrade Academy before the upheavals of World War II interrupted his studies. By 1949 he had traded post‑war austerity for the blazing palette of the South of France, settling between Nice and Avignon. There he absorbed the jazz‑like immediacy of post‑war modernism—Matisse’s cut‑outs, Picasso’s beach sketches—while exhibiting in regional salons and Riviera galleries throughout the 1950s and ’60s.
Vojic signed many of his intimate gouaches with the compact monogram “V·j”, reserving his full surname for larger canvases. Today his Mediterranean period (1958‑65) is the most sought‑after at auction, prized for its joyous color and graphic economy.
