Three runners in white vests and shorts come down the middle of the road, the one in the centre carrying a lit torch high in his right hand. Their vests carry the rayed emblem of the Munich games. A saloon car follows close behind with a second car beyond it, and a crowd lines both pavements in summer clothes. A banner is strung across the front of the building at the right, above a shopfront, and a traffic signal stands at the corner.
About this place
The Tanurdžić palace stands where Zmaj Jovina, Modene and Ilije Ognjanovića streets meet, with its long side running along Modene. The Novi Sad merchant and benefactor Nikola Tanurdžić commissioned it and the architect Đorđe Tabaković won the design competition; it was built between 1933 and 1934 on a reinforced concrete raft a metre thick, laid because the sandy ground would not otherwise carry the weight. Its clean unornamented lines make it the clearest example of Bauhaus influenced rational architecture in the city, and it packed in fourteen ground floor shops, thirty six flats above, a 300 square metre apartment for the family, and the Rex cinema, which counted among the most modern in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, with a Rex hotel added in 1939. The palace was nationalised in 1946 and partly returned to Tanurdžić's heirs in 2012.
