Opis (eng)

Abstract: When it was founded in 1929 the State Art Collection of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was not envisaged with the complex and turbulent future that lay in front of it. From 1929 until late 1970s when the last artefact was added to the collection, it symbolically stood for all three Yugoslavias that evolved during this period: the Kingdom (1929/1941), the FNRY (1945/1963) and SFRY (1963-1991). Its artworks perpetually reflected universal and encompassing concepts of cultural diplomacy that could be best divided into three main subjects: the ideal state, the new Arcadia and the land of the Yugoslav nations. The SAC had a rich and a curious history which is an integral, albeit neglected, part of the European cultural history of the 20th century. Although by its contents and its historical importance the SAC formed a notable part of the European and Yugoslav cultural heritage, this collection was never fully researched and was virtually unknown outside, and even within the borders of Yugoslavia. It was for the first time in 2014, that a complete Catalogue of the fine arts collection of the SAC in Belgrade was printed and its artworks protected as national heritage, and finally made available to the wider local and European audience.
