Mihailo Petrov, Poster for the first Zenit international exhibition, collage, 1924.

Zenit, International Review of Arts and Culture, enjoyed a reputation as the only Yugoslav avant-garde journal, which was part of the international avant-garde scene at the beginning of the 1920s. Its founder, editor and the chief ideologist of the Zenit programme Ljubomir Micić, poet and art critic, intended to introduce social and artistic principles of avant-garde to Croatia and Serbia, particularly constructivism, futurism and Dada.

The journal was launched in February 1921 and published monthly in Zagreb (1921-23) and Belgrade (1923-26) until December 1926, when it was banned by the authorities. A total of 43 issues were published (including special number dedicated to young Czech artists, and No. 17-18 to the new Russian Art, edited by Ilya Ehrenburg and El Lissitzky), as well as one poster, "Zenitismus", and one issue of the newspaper Zenit dated 23 September 1922.

Programmatic texts include "Man and Art" (Micić, Feb 1921), "Zenitist Manifesto" (Goll, Jun 1921), "The Categorical Imperative of the Zenitist Poet School" (Micić, Apr 1922), and "Zenitosophy, or, the Energy of the Creative Zenitism" (Micić, 1924).

The magazine brought together a number of collaborators including Marijan Mikac, Jo Klek (Josip Seissel), Vilko Gecan, Mihailo Petrov, Boško Tokin, Stanislav Vinaver, Rastko Petrovic, Branko Ve Poljanski (Branko Micić), Dragan Aleksic, Milos Crnjanski, Dusan Matic. Contributors also included Ivan Goll, Alexander Archipenko, Ilya Ehrenburg, Wassily Kandinsky, El Lissitzky, Louis Lozowick, Alexander Blok, Jaroslav Seifert. Visual contributions by Jo Klek and Mihailo Petrov epitomized Zenitist art and painting.

Zenit cooperated with other avant-garde reviews such as De Stijl, L'Esprit nouveau, Der Sturm and MaHer Oberzic. It also involved book publishing; organizing lectures, exhibitions, and soirees; and art collecting. [1]

The last issue (No. 4, December 1926) was banned because of the involvement of Russian artists and M. Rasinov's article "Zenitism Through the Prism of Marxism" [Zenitizam kroz prizmu marksizma].[2]
