Biography
Domjanić was born in Krči (now Adamovec, Croatia), a village near the town of Sveti Ivan Zelina.{{sfn|Repar|2017|p=169}} Having graduated in law, he served as a judge in Zagreb and as a counsellor for the Ban's Bench. He was a member of Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, the president of Matica hrvatska (1921–1926), and the president of Yugoslav PEN Club.{{sfn|Repar|2017|p=170}} In the struggle between the "old" and the "young" in the framework of Croatian Modernism, he sided with the "young".{{clarification needed|date=October 2023}} He versified motifs such as spiritual love, intimacy of the nobility mansions, marquises and cavaliers of the past days. He feared the brutality of the present, mourned the world dying off, and had a negative reaction to new ideas.
Domjanić wrote in his native Kajkavian dialect.{{cite book |author= Draško Ređep |editor = Živan Milisavac |date=1971 |title=Jugoslovenski književni leksikon |trans-title=Yugoslav Literary Lexicon |publisher=Matica srpska |language=sh |location= Novi Sad (SAP Vojvodina, SR Serbia) |page=100 }} The most notable works of Domjanić are the poem collection Kipci i popevke, and the poems "Fala" and "Popevke sam slagal", the latter two of which were set to music by Vlaho Paljetak.{{sfn|Repar|2017|pp=176–178}} Croatian composer Ivana Lang also set to music several Domjanić's poems.
All of his poems were written in the Kajkavian literary language of the period, even though his vernacular was the Kajkavian dialect of Adamovec. He also wrote a number of literary accounts and a few prosaic notes.
He is also the author of the lesser-known string puppet play Petrica Kerempuh and the Smart Ass (Kajkavian {{langx|hr|Petrica Kerempuh i spametni osel}}), writing under the pseudonym Vujec Grga. {{cite encyclopedia |title= Domjanić, Dragutin Milivoj|encyclopedia=Hrvatska enciklopedija, mrežno izdanje |year=2021|publisher=Leksikografski zavod Miroslav Krleža |url= https://www.enciklopedija.hr/clanak/domjanic-dragutin-milivoj |access-date=24 October 2023|language=Croatian}}
