Summary/Abstract: In contemporary world art performs social functions. Both the protection of art and thepractice of exhibiting art entail discerning and respecting the idea of a work of art. Interpretationof the idea of a work of art can be facilitated by basic aesthetic categories. Interviews with Silesianartists follow the current trend in documenting ideas for modern art. For the most part, workproduced by Silesian artists is traditional in terms of matter and ideas, which is a result of theinfluence of graphic art. These artists also create their paintings using untypical materials andpainting media, they annexe space, take advantage of the passing of time and ongoing matterdegradation. Some artists hold the view that documenting activities, including giving interviews,is the only form of protection of painting.
