Captured Serbian faschist (Chetnik) 1944

"Captured Serbian Fascist (Chetnik)" is a powerful ink drawing by Alfred Krupa from 1944. The artwork depicts a Chetnik soldier, a member of the Serbian nationalist paramilitary force, captured during World War II. The figure is rendered in a highly expressive style, with bold, gestural lines capturing the subject's defeat and despair. The use of a single blue hue evokes a sense of isolation and hopelessness. This piece provides insight into Krupa's artistic response to the political climate of the time. Chetniks, despite their nationalistic identity, were frequently portrayed as enemies of the Yugoslav resistance movement.
