This article examines the role of the so-called Novo Mesto Spring movement, particularly the role of the poet Anton Podbevšek, on the dynamics of Slovenian avant-garde art in the first decade after ...the World War I. It outlines Podbevšek's controversial rise to celebrity status soon after his arrival in Ljubljana in 1920, his extraordinary influence on contemporary young poets, reflected in the literary contributions to the first issue of the magazine Trije labodje (The Three Swans, 1922), and, finally, analyzes Podbevšek's irrevocable decline after 1925. Podbevšek's (self)destructive behavior in this period proves to be among the important reasons why the attempt to consolidate Slovenian historical avant-garde art, which might have taken place around The Three Swans, failed.
Pisalo se je leto 1966. Mlademu paru Silvi in Stanetu se je pred približno letom pridružila hči Stanka. Bil je čas gradnje hiše, obdelovanja njiv, sadovnjaka in vinograda v domači vasici Lokovica pri ...Šoštanju. Obilica dela ni bila prepreka, da se v vsakem prostem trenutku ne bi stisnili eden k drugemu in se imeli radi. Ta na fotografski film ujeti trenutek je nastal na travniku ob naši hiši. Tisti čas je bila še lesena, nato pa se je sobica za sobico »sestavila« v naš skupen topel domek.Aprila letos je mladenič na fotografiji dopolnil 80 let. Ati, hvaležna sem ti, a tudi »mamčiki«*, »mamiki«** in sestri Mateji, da je bilo moje otroštvo tako zelo veselo, sproščeno, skratka neizmerno bogato.*mami **stari mami
