Summary/Abstract: In the first decades of the 20th century, when “modern“ or internal approaches to the artistic text started to appear, Miloš Crnjanski, an advocate of innovations in literature, remained faithful to the “traditional“ interpretation of literary works. There are numerous examples which indicate that biographical, analytical psychology research in particular, exerted a major attractive force not only on his imagination and writing, but also on his reception of literary works. Sigmund Freud’s papers and Jung’s analytical psychology undoubtedly offered him answers to the questions of the origin of creative energy, psychological motivation of characters and the nature and meaning of certain literary motifs. Stll, the way in which Crnjanski addresses these problems suprisingly coincides with Léopold Szondi’s Fate analysis (Schicksalsanalyse), which is perhaps the most fascinating fact. His essay Tajna Albrehta Direra (’The Secret of Albrecht Dürer’) once again confirms that Crnjanski addresses the problems of art using a wider, all-encompassing spiritual perspective, which simulta simultaneously allows one to realize some general and permanent issues of human existence.
