Ignjat Job (Serbian Cyrillic: ????? ???; 28 March 1895 – 28 April 1936) was an important representative of colour expressionism in the art scene of Yugoslavia during the 1930s.
Job's landscapes of Dalmatia are reminiscent of the style of Van Gogh.
He is best known for his series of paintings inspired by life on the island of Brac.
Job said that “the beneficial influence of the Brac landscape can be felt, the hot sun, blue sea, and green branches of olive trees swayed by the breath of the maestral”.
His paintings depicted the Mediterranean landscape, motifs of the town of Supetar, fishing themes, and more rarely portraits and nudes.
