Summary/Abstract: At the beginning of the 20th century there would be great turnaround in the artistic creation of the European continent, as a result of the changes that were initiated by historical events. The passive attitude of society, in contrast to all the turbulent events in the real life of man of that time, will necessitate a very radical change in all aspects of art.All the features of the modern way of artistic adaptation are recognizable within the framework of European cultural events, that is, modern, which will dominate the principles of “contradictory” and the ideas of completely new “multiplicative tendencies”. Thematic determinants are directly related to man and endangering his existence, resulting in dissatisfaction and rebellion that culminates in the chaotic state of his subconscious. In the inability to influence the changes caused by the worldly “insane” insanity, it resounds with the cataclysm of mankind.The crash with tradition, to which it previously relied on art, initiates specific new forms in literary expression. This period in literature was marked by writers who want to create their own poetics, without falling short of a general poetics, therefore, there are no more universal norms and no rules that are strictly given. The individual experience of the world and the reality is revealed in the creations of new processes of artistic creativity, determined by the analytical procedure in the presentation of the human subconscious.
