Picasso, Dali, Chagall, and Picabia in the Salon of the rejected – a 1968 audience survey, analyzed on the pages of the press

Summary/Abstract: In 1968, a sociological survey on the topic of The contemporary Bulgarian on literature and art was conducted among the audiences, invented as a supreme “jury”. The reasons for authorizing the selected “jury” on art works reproductions to accept some art works for the “Official salon” and to send others to the “Salon of the rejected” are far from the interest in the artistic and critical practices, and even in the audiences (always diverse). These reasons lie in the effort to ideologically model the look to the West held by a socialist/communist cultural community.
