Ljubomir Micić
Croatia (1895—1971)After studying art and theatre in Zagreb, Micić began his career in the theatrical and literary milieu before being sent to the Galician front during World War I. He was later imprisoned in Samobor, where he met the writer Pecija Petrović, and after the war resumed his literary activity, publishing several collections of poetry. In 1921 he founded the international magazine Zenit, first in Zagreb and later in Belgrade, establishing it as a platform for the European avant-garde. For political reasons, he subsequently moved to Berlin, where he met El Lissitzky. The 43rd issue of Zenit featured the article Zenitism – Through the Prism of Marxism, which led to Micić’s renewed imprisonment. Marinetti subsequently secured his transfer to Italy, where he met Pirandello, before continuing to Paris. He returned to Belgrade in 1936 and a few years later founded the magazine Srbijanstvo.
