Kampanja protiv apstrakcije 1962./1963. jedan je od najdrastičnijih pokušaja političke arbitraže i reafirmacije dogmatizma u umjetnosti Jugoslavije. Tadašnji izvori upozoravaju da je upravo enformel bio meta tog napada. Suštinska pitanja na koja ovaj članak nastoji odgovoriti jesu: tko, kada i zašto se uključuje u polemiku oko enformela doprinoseći eskalaciji konflikta. Praćenjem zbivanja, koincidencija i usporedbi došlo se do zaključka da je kampanja protiv enformela bila strateški planirana i sinhronizirana akcija jugoslavenskog političkog i kulturnog establišmenta sprovedena prema scenariju političke intervencije u sovjetskoj kulturi, koja joj je neposredno prethodila. Iako kratkotrajna i bez drastičnih posljedica, kampanja u Jugoslaviji rezultirala je presjecanjem razvojnog puta, otupljivanjem kritičke oštrice i marginalizacijom enformelne apstrakcije na institucionalnoj razini. The campaign against Abstraction in 1962-63 represents one of the most dramatic attempts at political arbitrage and reaffirmation of dogmatism in the history of Yugoslav art. Contemporary sources suggest that the main target of those attacks was – Art Informel. Therefore, the essential questions this article seeks to discuss are the following: who, when and why was involved in the dispute over Art Informel, contributing to the escalation of the conflict. By keeping track of the events, coincidences and parallels, it was concluded that the campaign against Art Informel was a strategically planned and synchronized action of the Yugoslav political and cultural establishment, conducted according to the scenario of political intervention in Soviet culture, which immediately preceded it. Although short-lived and with no drastic consequences, this campaign in Yugoslavia resulted in an obstruction of the developmental path, dulling the critical blade, as well as marginalizing the Art Informel abstraction on the institutional map of meanings.
