Abstract:

The representation examines the complex choices that artists must make in the 60s of the last century in the face of strict control and liberal demagoguery. Some decide to accept the regime’s demands unconditionally, others are willing to cooperate with the hope that in time they will continue to develop their own aesthetics, but there are a few who do not accept to serve the system and remain in their personal world rich in inventions, enduring all misfortunes. In this different behaviour is the picture of Bulgarian art in this dramatic decade, which gave impetus to the subsequent development of new strategies in changing social and psychological conditions.
