In the book the author collected ten essays on painting poetics of his slovene professional colleagues. They are mostly contemporaries, half of them are author’s academy colleagues, and all of them are original artistic personalities whom Muhovič views in personal »sessions« with their oeuvres in a way that few can afford: with a look of an expert in painting’s »internal affairs« and at the same time as a theoretician and a philosopher. The book addresses oeuvres which in an ideological and morphological sense form a broad spectrum of diversity and are for Slovenian circumstances on one hand representative, sometimes also atypical, but for various reasons imprinted into Slovenian cultural memory with different intensity.

The connections between the different sectors of modern global society, as economy, politics, education, science, ecology, religion, social care etc. are possible within the cultural mediation. The very mediative idea of culture could retain the crucial and weak equilibrium between freedom and justice. The author shows such a mediation in “his’ own culture” by the confrontation with the historical nihilism.
