Abstract

The paper deals with the drawings by artist Mica Todorović that she created from 1929 to 1933. The 16 drawings are unique in her oeuvre in terms of the way of presenting and subject matter. The drawings are authentic for their artistic thinking with various evident influences such as Georg Grosz, the group Zemlja and Krsto Hegedušić. With sophisticated but clear humor, the author points out the imbalance between the canonized social worldviews and the real principles on which the society of that time operates. With this series of drawings, Mica Todorović ranked at the very top of socially engaged art in the regional context.
