Ivan Tabakovich was born in a family of Transylvanian Serbs. He received his art education at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts and then at the Royal Academy of Applied Arts in Zagreb. In Zagreb, the teacher I. Tabakovich was the artist Lyubo Babich . For two semesters, he also attended the Munich Academy of Arts and the private painting school of Hans Hoffmann in the capital of Bavaria. After graduating from the Zagreb Academy in 1924, he visited Paris in 1925. After returning to Zagreb in 1925 I. Tabakovich participated in the creation of the art group “Earth” (1929), then he created one of his most famous works - the painting “Genius”.
