Никола Петковић

Никола Петковић (Инђија, 18. август 1893 — Питсбург, 1952) је био српски сликар у исељеништву из прве половине 20. века.

Рођен 1893. године у Инђији, у Срему, Никола Петковић је учио сликарство на Академији ликовне уметности у Бечу. 1916. године се иселио у Америку. Немајући средства за живот, после Првог светског рата прихватио се свештеничког позива, који је напустио 1930. када је дошао у сукоб са црквеним властима. У исељеништву је наставио да учи сликарство у вечерњој школи Карнеџи – универзитета у Питсбургу.

Ms. Jovanović’s study reveals that Jackson not only remains an original and symbolic home to Serbian Americans and Serbian Orthodox religion, but also an oasis where the Serbian community has preserved its positive reputation and social influence.
