Viktor Vida

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Viktor Vida (Kotor, October 2, 1913 – Buenos Aires, September 25, 1960) was a Croatian writer.

He graduated from the University of Zagreb in south Slav literature and the Italian language. His first poetry was published in Nikšić. From 1943 he worked in Rome. In 1945, a communist regime was established in Yugoslavia, which prevented Vida from returning to his homeland. He emigrated to Argentina with his family in 1948. In Argentina he contributed to the Croatian emigrant publication Hrvatska revija.

His poetry is in the bohemian tradition of Antun Gustav Matoš and Tin Ujević, which he was inspired by after meeting the circle of writers around Ljubo Wiesner and Nikica Polić.^[1]

He committed suicide in Buenos Aires on September 25, 1960.^[2] With Croatian independence in 1991, there was renewed availability and interest in his work. The Association of Croatian Writers held an academic conference on him in 1993.^[3]
