Stevan Živadinović (20 November 1908 – 6 May 1993), known by his pen name Vane Bor, was a Serbian artist active in the Surrealist movement.[1] He produced various collages, photograms and photographs, as well as theoretical texts and poems.[2] He is best known for his books "Vane Bor i Marko Ristić" and "Anti-zid" which influenced many writers, including Aleksandar Vučo, Marko Ristić, Rastko Petrović, Oskar Davičo, and others.
He was born in the mining village of Bor, from which he took his pseudonym.[1] His parents were Dragutin and Desanka Živadinović, both prominent doctors.[3] His sister, Jelica, became better known as Ševa Ristić, also a surrealist artist and married to Marko Ristić.[1]
