Milan Marjanović dating history

Details

Milan Marjanović (12 May 1879 – 21 December 1955) was a Croatian and Yugoslavian writer, literary critic and filmmaker. He joined the Croat-Serb Progressive Youth, part of the Croat-Serb Coalition, and by 1903, became one of its leading members. In 1912, he broke with the organisation and joined the Yugoslav Nationalist Youth, viewing integral Yugoslavism as the only way to politically unite the South Slavs. After the outbreak of World War I, he fled to Paris where he joined the Yugoslav Committee and worked at the mission of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later renamed Yugoslavia) at the Paris Peace Conference. In the Interwar Period, Marjanović travelled to the United States, organising exhibitions of works of sculptor Ivan Meštrović and attending a course in photography and film directing in New York. He returned to Zagreb, then moved to Belgrade until retirement. During the World War II, he was arrested and imprisoned by Fascist Italy in 1942–1943. In 1944, he joined the Yugoslav Partisans' mission in Bari. He became a full member of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts.
