DEFIANCE TO THE POLITICAL AND THE EARTHLY GRAVITY GENEALOGY OF THE "NINTH" ART IN THE EARLY OPUS OF ANTUN MOTIKA. (English)

The paper analyses four of Antun Motika's works originated during his time in Istria (1902-1919.) and have the form imminent to today's comic books as a medium. Works such as "Red Beard" (1917-1919.), "Journey to the Moon" (1917-1918.), "My Caricatures" (1919) as well as magazine "Vinko Lozić" (1919.) within which Motika created his fi rst comic book "Monkey Flock", extract the wider author's creative work which subsequently did not necessarily have common points with the ninth art. Although the above mentioned works, form and content, are heterogeneous, they are still banded with several elements, such as drawings and/or caricatures narratively related, aspirations towards illustration dynamism likewise concomitant captions/comments on the action. The importance of these works lies in the fact that they were created at the very beginning of the author's consciousness of being an artist, and accordingly, are able to detect the rudiments of Motika's later expressions, as well as confirming the connection between comic books with other media such as fi lm, literature or press. Creativity inherent to this period still retains a special feature, characteristic symptomatic only to those adolescent days spent in Istria - socially and politically engaged works whose pathos infused with fi ne irony which reflects a subsequently developed tendency towards humour.

Attraverso l'analisi storico-culturale di quattro lavori di Antun Motika creati durante il suo cosiddetto periodo istriano, nell'articolo si presenta quanto le caratteristiche socio-politiche, artistiche e tecniche dell'inizio del ventesimo secolo hanno influenzato il suo opus giovanile. Anche se questi lavori hanno forma e contenuto eterogeneo tra di loro, il loro denominatore comune è il fumetto, inteso in senso largo e genealogico. In questo modo la "nona arte" che oggi spesso è definita l'arte d'avanguardia, in senso reversibile, riceve la conferma di propria avanguardia e intermedialita' visto che viene creata dal artista il cui opus è definito sperimentale. Uno dei risultati del atteggiamento creativo del genere è anche "Majmun Flok" (Scimmia Flok), probabilmente primo fumetto in questi territori. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analiza štirih del Antuna Motike, ki so nastala v njegovem Istrskem obdobju ustvarjanja (ki se konča leta 1919), kaže na vpliv družbeno-političnih, umetniških in tehnoloških značilnosti začetka dvajsetega stoletja na avtorjevo delo, kot tudi na njegov mladostniški opus. Ne glede na to, da so navedena dela po svoji vsebini heterogena, jih lahko opredelimo s skupnim imenovalcem - stripom ali z izraznimi formami, ki so stripu sorodne. Tako je deveta umetnost, ki se danes pogosto definira kot avantgardna umetnost, na teh področjih deležna tudi poglobljene zgodovinske potrditve o svoji avantgardnosti, kot tudi intermedialnosti, saj jo ustvarja avtor, katerega nadaljnje ustvarjanje je bilo definirano kot eksperimentalno tudi v kasnejših fazah ustvarjanja. Eden izmed rezultatov takšnega kreativnega stališča je prav »Majmun Flok« (Opica Flok), ki je bil verjetno prvi avtorski strip na teh področjih. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
