Sažetak
In 2011, Ivo Arany, the son of Dragutin, donated the legacy of his father to the Croatian Music Institute. The legacy consists of music magazines, concert posters, programs and other documents. The hardworking violist and organizer of Zagreb’s music life Dragutin Arany (1899-1964) has collected newspapers almost his entire life, but so far only one part of his collection has been processed. A list of newspaper articles from the period 1912 to 1929 showed that 4,000 newspaper articles, music critics, announcements, essays, biographies and other texts were collected in that period only. Apart from the fact that the collection of Dragutin Arany offers a rich source of information on the musical life of that period, it also depicts it with iconographic sources. Musical events and their protagonists have been recorded with photographs, drawings and cartoons, so the collection is not only a source for musical life but of the overall artistic and social life of Zagreb in the twentieth century. In the 1920s there are lot of amateur, but also professional photographers in Zagreb, such as Antonija Kulčar and Otto Antonini. Their photos, printed in newspapers and magazines document composers, conductors, opera singers, musical and other events. In that period, most of the painters do caricatures because it brings them money. Besides caricatures of musicians there is the interesting example of musician and caricaturist Ivo Tijardović, whose caricatures were also found in Arany’s collection. There are also other drawings and music iconography elements mentioned in this paper. Altogether these elements of music iconography represent modern aspirations of that time and bring us closer to the reception of musicians between the world wars.
