Abstract
The paper focuses on two of the many exhibiting activities in Rijeka during the Italian rule in the interwar period, interpreted in the context of
current regional, Italian state and wider European political circumstances. The presented overview of these biennial exhibitions largely speaks of
isolated, authentic artistic moments within well-defined temporal and
spatial framework. The analysis of the first biennial exhibitions in Rijeka held in 1925 and 1927, determined by socio-political circumstances
through the variety of artistic expressions of an extremely broad and
diverse number of artists, prompts a reflection on the general neglect
of Rijeka as a city in stagnation in the period that followed the arrival of
the Italian authorities.
