Summary/Abstract: The genre of figural composition in the works by the New Artists is not dominating their oeuvres, but occurs in a manner much different from the previous periods. The subject matters clearly evince the views of most of the authors members of the Society, expressed in the emergence of socially committed subjects indicative of the New Artists’ striving to keep pace with the trends in world art at the time. It was undoubtedly the new subject matters that most naturally produced the major changes in the interpretation of the ‘narrative’ in an artwork or strictly speaking, what was witnessed was a new interpretation of the subject in a figural composition. The idea of the New Artists’ efforts to renew fine arts was not spontaneously hit upon, but rather drawn on external inspirations. The New Artists initiated a new trend within the then realities in this country, renewing the monotonous course of fine arts.
