Milo Milunović (Montenegrin: Milo Milunović) (1897-1967) was a distinguished Montenegrin painter. He dabbled in both Impressionism and Cubism.

Milo Milunović was born in Cetinje, Montenegro but educated in Shkodër, Monza, Florence under the apprenticeship of Alberto Giacometti, and later Paris. He joined the Montenegrin army in the World War I, and from 1919 to 1922 lived in Paris, where he became acquainted with the works of Cezanne. He spent 1923 in Prcanj where he painted frescoes in the local church. From 1924 to 1926 he lived in Zagreb, Paris, and later Belgrade where with two colleagues he founded the Belgrade Academy of Arts. He painted his most successful works between 1926 and 1932, most of which were impressionist.

His works were characterized by a rationalistic approach, both to composition and space. Anti-illusionistic devices were used in the representation of space. Milunovic's art can sometimes be seen as abstract, other times as impressionistic, and even sometimes as Fauvist.

Danilo Kiš (Serbian Cyrillic: Данило Киш; February 22, 1935 – October 15, 1989) was a Yugoslavian novelist, short story writer and poet who wrote in Serbo-Croatian. Kiš was influenced by Bruno Schulz, Vladimir Nabokov, Jorge Luis Borges and Ivo Andrić, among other authors. His most famous works include A Tomb for Boris Davidovich and The Encyclopedia of the Dead.

Danilo Kiš was born in Subotica, Danube Banovina, Kingdom of Yugoslavia (now Serbia). He was the son of Eduard Kiš (Kis Ede), a Hungarian Jewish railway inspector, and Milica Kiš, an Eastern Orthodox Montenegrin (born Dragićević) from Cetinje (now Montenegro). His father was born in Austria-Hungary with a surname Kon, but changed it to Kis as part of Magyarization, a widely implemented practice at the time. During the Second World War, Danilo's father along with several other family members, were killed in various Nazi camps. His mother took him and his older sister Danica to Hungary for the duration of the war. After the end of the war, the family moved to Cetinje, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, where Kiš graduated from high school in 1954.
