    Pragmatists, Dogmatists, Dreamers The hypothesis about the manipulative nature of the relationship between politics and art, the tolerance of totalitarian government and artists for the sake of (mutual) benefit, is not new. However, in Župan's largely multidisciplinary research, which subjects the most important positions presented so far to a coherent analysis and brings quite convincing conclusions, this hypothesis is for the first time set out on material that is not partial. The focus of the study is, admittedly, a specific group of visual artists, members of EXAT 51 - their activity, together with the roots from which they grow and the consequences they leave, is illuminated from many angles, versatile; but the greatest value of Župan's work is that it has transcended the boundaries of just one art and an individual case and has risen to a level that more clearly and more well-foundedly than before, reflects on some new coordinates of Croatian culture and art in a certain time.
