The painter Leonid Sejka is considered to be one of the most original renovators of the former Yugoslavia. "During an attempt to emigrate from art" he found the inspiration for his paintings on the dumping grounds of the city, and goaded the socialist culture bureaucracy as well as the adepts of Western abstractions which were also present in Yugoslavia at that time.
Conversations with friends give an impression of Belgrade in the Fifties and Sixties, of a city and a climate that nowadays exist only in private apartments, if at all.
