Yeah, such was the fashion back then.. We (Yugoslavia) were far enough from SSSR's and Stalin's oppression not to be subjugated to their exclusive bland realism and cubism, and also too far to the USA to be their copycats, so in 80-ties we had our own blend of surrealism with french influences..

When I was little I didn't like such pictures on anything involving science, future, or SF, but that didn't stop me to fall in love with SF till this day.
