Miljenko Stančić
Miljenko Stančić (1 March 1926 – 13 May 1977) was a Croatian painter and graphic artist born in Varaždin. He is famous for his vast painting oeuvre of Varaždin cityscapes. Along with Ljubo Ivančić, Ivan Kožarić, Valerije Michieli and Josip Vaništa, he was a member of the Grupe Petorice (Group of Five) which was active in the 1950s in Zagreb. Besides painting, he also did illustrations for newspapers, books and magazines, as well as scenography (he was a scenographer for ''In Agony'', a play by Miroslav Krleža, 1959). He was an assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb (1961), and was appointed full professor in 1970 (where he worked until 1977). Three documentaries about Stančić have been made to date: ''Miljenko Stančić'' (directed by Ante Viculin, TV Zagreb, 1960), ''Figures of Children in Miljenko Stančić’s Paintings'' (directed by Eduard Galić, TV Zagreb, 1963) and ''Miljenko Stančić'' (directed by Mira Wolf, TV Zagreb, 1987) ...
