** Oto Bihalji – Merin (1904 – 1993) was Serbian and Yugoslav painter, publisher, art historian, writer and art critic from Belgrade. Oto Bihalji studied painting in Germany where he embraced left oriented ideas. In 1928 he came back to Belgrade and with his brother Pavle Bihalji founded the Nova literature (New literature) magazine and Nolit publishing house which had been publishing titles from the authors such as Jack London, Maxim Gorky, Remarque, Heinrich Mann, Sinclair Lewis, John Steinbeck, Isaak Babel etc. which authorities considered provocatively left oriented and thus had been forbidding them. Few years later he went back to Germany again where he made friends and cooperated with some of Europe’s leading intellectuals and artists of the period: Bertolt Brecht, Thomas and Heinrich Mann, Andre Malraux, Jean Paul Sartre, Maksim Gorky, Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, Pablo Picasso and many others. Together they confronted fascism and Nazism in Italy and Germany
