HERMENEUTIC DISCOURSE AND POSTMODERN POETICS WITHIN KRLEŽA’S VISUAL ARTS THEMES

Nataša Šegota Lah ; CROATIAN FREELANCE ARTISTS' ASSOCIATION, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

Th e essay debates a link between the hermeneutic discourse of Krleža’s interpretation of visual
arts and the comprehension of postmodernist activist poetics. Interrelation between the above
theoretical models gets analyzed on the example of Krleža’s Foreword to “Podravian Motifs of
Krsto Hegedušić’ (1933) within a context of disintegration of modernist understanding of
aesthetics. Th is instance is then being thematized by directing – from the general hermeneutic
practice of intending the certain cultural-social connotations within painting’s interpretation –
towards the postmodernist art practices affi rming the interrelation between the aesthetic and
ethical (as ideological and political) fi elds of action.
