Međunarodne izložbe i politike predstavljanja Bosanskohercegovački umjetnici u jugoslavenskom umjetničkom prostoru sedme i osme decenije 20. stoljeća
International Exhibitions and Politics of Presentation Bosnian-Herzegovinian Artists in the Yugoslav Art Space of the Seventh and Eighth Decades of the 20th Centur

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents and analyzes polemics and expert evaluations of one of the most ambitious and complex Yugoslavian exhibitions, entitled “Art on the Soil of Yugoslavia from Prehistory to the Present.” This exhibition was organized at the proposal of André Malraux, the Minister of Culture in the French Government at the time. It was first presented at the Grand Palais in Paris before being relocated to Sarajevo in 1971. The complexity and sensitivity of the political climate at that time largely influenced the organization of this exhibition, providing a framework for understanding attitudes toward Bosnian cultural heritage and contemporary art. Additionally, it will offer context for examining Yugoslav representation policies in the visual arts at the international level. The analysis of this exhibition is of particular importance for Bosnian art and culture, because the seventh and eighth decades of the 20th century represent the most significant period in the contemporary cultural history of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
