He achieved considerable success in the many fields that he ventured into, from literature to visual arts to the history of art and publishing.
During the 1950's and 60's, Kalajić was part of the art group Mediala. During this time, he was notorious for his right-wing views in the vein of Julius Evola.[3] In 1962, Kalajić played the character of Boba in Jovan Živanović's film Strange Girl.
