Vera Nikolić Podrinska

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

Biography Podrinska was the daughter of baron Vladimir Nikolić and baroness Gabriella Ella Franziska Maria, 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 solo exhibition. 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.

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.
