Balthus - Late Memories

TUE | 24. 8. | 7 P.M. | MUSEUM OF MODERN ART | ENTRY 100 CZK
The SEFO 2021 Triennial | Stage reading

The universe of three worlds, different on the outside and so close on the inside. Nostalgic and melancholic nooks of Lhotáks canvases, in which modern man is so small and the machine is even bigger; the daunting and gloomy fate of the postmodern man in Houellebecqs texts, the author of which, as few writers of contemporary world literature, aptly describes todays society; and man and the landscape as the mediator of the first and last truth of the world past, present and future in the paintings of Balthus, one of the greatest painters of the 20th century, who said, "Let us observe the light."

Such will be scenic readings from three books, organized by the Olomouc Museum of Art: Kamil Lhoták - My Father Kamil Lhoták (Museum of Modern Art June 22 at 7 pm), Michel Houellebecq - Map and Territory (Museum of Modern Art July 22 at 7 pm) ), Balthus - Late Memories (Museum of Modern Art 24 August at 7 pm).
