Измерване на реалността: перспективни конвенции
Measuring Reality: Perspective Conventions

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the relationship between the 15th century perspective inventions, substantiated by Filippo Brunelleschi (1377–1446), and the working method of the contemporary Bulgarian artist Ventseslav Kostov (1944–2006), whose work is poorly known and studied by art historians and curators. The text updates ideas related to perspective as a “symbolic form” and their projection in contemporary art, the reflection on reality and new realism, and how through the synthetic approach of visual art an answer can be found to the question of why the working method of the Bulgarian artist Ventseslav Kostov remains a lonely example without followers.
