Погледът от България отвъд желязната завеса през 1960-те. Парижкото Биенале на младите художници
The Look from Bulgaria Beyond the Iron Curtain during the 1960s. Paris Biennale for Young Artists

Summary/Abstract: The article is part of a larger project of Prof. Genova on the Bulgarian perspective to the artistic practices beyond the Iron Curtain during the 1960s. A core problem is the (self)isolation of the Bulgarian artistic scene during the Cold War, its estrangement from the artistic exchange in Western and Central Europe, as well as the Balkans. The consequences of this long lasting situation are visible today, too. The participation of Bulgarian artists in the Biennale de Paris in 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965 and 1969 as well as in other international events, provided opportunities for travelling, gathering personal experience, and making comparisons. However, the incompatibility of the visual rhetoric on both sides of the Iron Curtain created insurmountable difficulties for the official exchanges.
