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. The movement was mainly involved in visual arts, graphic design, poetry, literature, theatre, film, architecture and music.[1] 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 the movement as "abstract metacosmic expressionism."

The movement

The movement was established following World War I, during which Yugoslavia lost a million inhabitants.[2] 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.

gollark: I'm currently just interested in "is there actually a decent chance of someone being there".
gollark: Running three more experiments in four days because my last one went okay; is anyone available in 4d5h or so for catching?
gollark: I don't think it's 8-9 UV specifically. I stuck that one egg I actually experimented on properly in hatcheries but had very few ARers, and it turned.
gollark: If I were to release it generally, it'd need a GUI and stuff which I can't be bothered to make.
gollark: It's kind of unpolished right now.
