Ely Bielutin

Ely Bielutin was born in 1925 and was predominantly influenced by the 1930s. During the 1930s, many polit-

ical ideologies such as Marxist Socialism, Capitalist Democracy, and the Totalitarianism of both Communism

and Fascism were engaged in struggles for dominance, and characterised the political atmosphere of the period.

n Europe, Surrealism continued to be prominent, and had grown to have influence across the globe. Leading

artists took the ideas posed by Surrealism and incorporated them into their radical political ideologies, creating

a new kind of magic realism. This was epitomised in the work of artists such as Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera in

Mexico.
