Summary/Abstract: Our story is about the personal history of two prominent intellectuals with a different place in the Bulgarian art studies. We are talking about the lasting and the conjuncture in the world of moral and aesthetic values. The first one, the father Nikolay Raynov, is among the pioneers in the process of Europeanization of Bulgarian art with a significant and lasting contribution, while the son Bogomil Raynov, is an apologist of socialist realism from his initial Stalinist phase to the very end, with a few exceptions, when, after the unstoppable decline, the Communist regime and its art remain in history.
