From the lecture cycle of the exhibition Tajga/Karel Stibral, Since when we like wild and desolate sceneries?

The lecture will try to explain why we like wild nature and desolate types of sceneries or objects. The sceneries favoured today used to be considered uninteresting or even ugly. Our admiration for rugged rocks or thick wildwood  as well as for the disappearing works of  man in nature is quite recent and based on a new approach towards nature and monuments just as on the change in aesthetic preferences.

In his childhood, he suffered through tough social situations and…

There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…
