Biography

Vera Nikolić Podrinska (Zagreb, June 8, 1886 - Zagreb, March 28, 1972) was a Croatian painter and baroness.

Biography

Podrinska was the daughter of baron Vladimir Nikolić and baronness Elle née Scotti. Nikolić was taught painting by the Croatian painter Oton Iveković from 1900, and in Paris by Andre Lhote and hr:Leo Junek. In 1917 she had her first one-woman show.

In 1944 a prison camp was established at her property on Pantovčak street in Zagreb by the government of the Independent State of Croatia. At the camp were held American captured pilots. The pilots were allowed to work at Nikolić vineyard and could use her estate to play tennis and listen to music, among other activities.

After the war her property was either nationalized or bought up by the ruling Communist Party and Vila Zagorje, an estate of Yugoslav leader Josip Broz, was built. She published the travel book Od Zagreba do Bangkoka (From Zagreb to Bangkok) in 1957.

Nikolić travelled to the United States of America in 1966 to attend a showing of her works. She was greeted by several of the former prisoners who were held at her estate during World War II.
