The Line of Heritage
....Thus was created Mitrovic?s characteristic style in landscape painting,
synthetic in the Milunovic manner,directed at the essence,but original in its
temperament,more robuts than that of the teacher,in some places overtly
capricious,filled with a barely-contained desire for the total submission of the
artistic content to the process of reduction to `the bare essence? which leads
to the very brink of abstraction....

Milun Mitrovic?s Pastels
....Mitrovic was one of the few artists who have painted Serbian landscapes.In
that way he has managed to create an original vision of Serbia,its landscapes,
hills and fields,which have already gained acceptance in our centemporary
painting.In time,and especially in these past few years,Mitrovic?s attitude has
become ever more condensed and meaningful.He has created a work new from
the poin of view of subject,purified as regards style,seen through the prism
of his individuality which brought to this painting even greater restraint,
characteristic as qualities of our ethos.

Faithful to Landscapes
....Mitrovic starts from a subject,from something he has seen,usually a
landscape(sometimes a nude) towards which he feels nostalgic ties and
devotion,in order to discover,in the result,in the constrution of the painting,a
balance in the stylistic union of the inspirational impulse(the landscape) and
the means of expression-line,colour,texture.
