WORK AND CREATION OF VUČKOVIĆ AND RAJIČIĆ FACING THE CHALLENGES OF SOCIAL ART ** STUDIES
: On the occasion of the hundredth birthday anniversary of the youngest repre-sentatives of the Prague group of Serbian composers, Vojislav Vučković (1910–1942) and Stanojlo Rajičić (1910–2000), the search for the answer to the question of taking a stand towards that developmental phase of their creative path which concerns the so-called turn ing point from the pre-war expressionism towards socialistic realism becomes increasingly important. First, because the historical distance can now be considered sufficient for mak-ing relevant judgments; and second, because that phase in their work was important for general development of Serbian music of the time. And finally, because their attitude towards the questions of engaged and social art gives fundamentally important answers, which have relevant theoretical and artistic meanings.
