Jedan vid srpskog nadrealizma Dušan Matić 50-ih godina
One Aspect of Serbian Surrealism Dusan Matic in 1950s

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the collection of Matic’s essays, One aspect of French literature (1952), his first published, and overlooked, book that can serve as an indicator of Matic’s thought in this period of its quietness on the Yugoslav literary scene in 1950s. In addition to reviewing the literary-historical context of the essays, the writer’s thought contained in them will be looked at from a poetic and aesthetic standpoint, since the authentic voice of the thinker and poet Dusan Matic, though somewhat programmatic, can be discerned in the margins. In this regard, the aim of this paper is to present the paths of Matic’s literary thought in the 1950s, that is, to mark the key determinants of his poetics in the example of these texts, with special attention on the questions of aesthetic regarding the relation between literature and social reality, as well as on the questions of truth and beauty.
