Sumatraism

Sumatraism is an avant-garde art movement created by Serbian writer Miloš Crnjanski. Crnjanski had set the principles of Sumatraism during World War I, and proclaimed it in his 1920 text Explanation of Sumatra.[1][2]

Crnjanski based Sumatraism under the influence of Expressionism and Futurism, introducing his vision of cosmic harmony. His concept included the most important topics of contemporary avant-garde art: primal force, the conflict between civilization and nature, and the hope for a new beginning.[2]
