context_page_description: „Cvijeta Zuzorić“ Art Pavilion is an exhibition building in Belgrade, in Kalemegdan, situated in the park's section of Little Kalemegdan, next to the south-eastern front of the Belgrade fortress. It was built between 1927 and 1928 after the design of the architect Branislav Kojić, in the Art Deco architectural style. It was the first venue built specifically as an exhibition space, or an art gallery, in Serbia.
context_section_description: The pavilion was opened on 23 December 1928 in the presence of Prince Pavle and his wife Olga, Patriarch Dimitrije and the representatives of the Academy, government, Belgrade Municipality, University etc. Sculptor Sreten Stojanović addressed the guests, thanking everyone for their donations. The first "Autumn Exhibition" of Belgrade painters and sculptors was opened on 30 December 1928. Proper exhibition season began in 1929. Every exhibition was starting at Sundays, at 11:00. On average, there were 18 exhibitions per year.
  Some of the most important names of Belgrade artistic scene appeared at the exhibition, such as Beta Vukanović, Milena Pavlović-Barili, Vasa Pomorišac, Uroš Predić, Petar Palavičini, Тоma Rosandić and others. Among the first manifestations held in the pavilion was the Salon of Architecture, the exhibition prepared by newly founded Group of Architect of Modern Movement. At the time of erection, the artistic pavilion was the only cultural edifice built purposely as an exhibition space, and had such a huge impact on the cultural life of Belgrade, that it was identified with the artistic life and artistic events of that time. It also played an important role on spreading the artistic culture and maintaining the artistic life in Serbia during the Interbellum. At one point, the general rule in the artistic circled was that a painter doesn't deserve any attention, unless some of his works have been exhibited in the pavilion, at least as a part of a group exhibition. Nowadays, the building is the site of the Association of the Fine artists of Serbia.
  A combined artistic-documentary exhibition "Historical moments from the life of the Art Pavillion Cvijeta Zuzorić 1928-1945", from December 2018 to January 2019, marked the 90th anniversary of the gallery.
