Ikoničnost osječke secesije
The Iconography of Osijek Secession

Summary/Abstract: The author traces the shift into The Iconography of Osijek Secession and the aestheticization of space with the emblems and iconography of Secessionist decorativity. Osijek has written a kind of Wagnerian Gesamtkunstwerk (the lyrics of Mihovil Nikolić, short story of Milivoj Dežman Ivanov, painting compositions of Bela Csikos Sesia) – Croatian Sezessionsstil as an intermediary style with the pronounced characteristics of ornamentalism, aestheticism and mannerism (Could we talk about the Baroque mannerism!). The work points to the vision of the Central Europe with the Pannonian– Danube characteristics, i. e. Europe mediated by the Mediterrananean coupled with Nietzsche’s belief in the South.
