Gavrilo Princip, Rudolf Maister, Mlada Bosna, Franz Ferdinand, Sarajevo, Maribor, hero, assassin, World War I // Gavrilo Princip, heroj, atentator, prva svetovna vojnaAbstract
In the article, the author deals with two heroes: - Gavrilo Princip (1894-1918) was a member of Mlada Bosna, who shot at an archduke, to the successor to the Habsburg throne, Franz Ferdinand; - general Rudolf Maister (1874-1934) was a poet and commander of the South Slavic forces in the lower Styria and Carinthia in the years 1918 and 1919. The author analyzed forty-three examples of graffiti and street art pieces of different formats (graffiti, stencils, stickers, murals etc.), dedicated to Princip and Maister. Theoretically, his research combines graffiti and street art studies with a critical analysis of cult of personality of political leaders.
