Zenitism
Zenitism (Serbo-Croatian: Zenitizam / Зенитизам) was an art movement in Yugoslavia from 1921 until 1926, first in Zagreb from 1921 to 1924 and from 1924 in Belgrade.[1] It primarily involved visual arts, graphic design, poetry, literature, theatre, film, architecture and music.[2] Like other avant-garde movements at the time, it held anti-war, anti-bourgeois and anti-nationalist views and rejected traditional culture and art. Micić defined it as "abstract metacosmic expressionism."
The movement[]
The movement was established following World War I, during which Yugoslavia lost a million inhabitants.[3] Although some artists from the region were known in Europe, Zenitism was the first notable art movement from the Balkans in Europe.
Zenit[]
Most of its ideas were communicated through the Zenit magazine which Ljubomir Micić launched and which published 43 issues between 1921 and 1926.
