At the Art Pavilion in 1981, the Youth Salon showed the work of 12 young painters who presented a return to painting and images. The trend became known as New Image ("Nova Slika"), and it was also evident at the Gallery of Contemporary Art's exhibition of 'Italian Trans-Avantgarde', showing the works of Italian and Yugoslav artists. New image brought new ways of expression and a new sensitivity towards intimacy and symbolism. The traces of new image can be found in the late 1970s and the early 1980s in Zagreb, and in major exhibitions in New York, London, the Venice Biennale (1980), and the "Biennale of young people" in Paris 1980. Postmodern trends of the 1980s brought painting back to seemingly more traditional frames. Authors such as Edita Schubert, Nina Ivančić, Star Fio, Đuro Seder, Anto Jerković, and Jelena Perić are characterised by a citation ranging from high to mass media culture.
