"John Popovic, born in 1938, came to Montreal in 1960 after studying fine art in England, France, Germany and Italy. He was painting the usual subject matter, including portraits, until one sitter complained about having to pose too long.

His works have been collected by the likes of Pierre Trudeau and the Rockefellers of New York."
