RELATIONS BETWEEN FANTASTIC IDEAS DEPICTED IN VISUAL ARTS AND FOLKLORE

VZŤAHY MEDZI FANTASTICKÝMI PREDSTAVAMI STVÁRNENÝMI VO VÝTVARNOM UMENÍ A VO FOLKLÓRE

PhDr. Soňa Kovačevičová, DrSc.,
Gröslingova 49, 811 01 Bratislava, Slovakia

With the help of historiographic and iconographic evidence, folk oral literature and maps from the Ethnographic Atlas of Slovakia, the author arrives at the following conclusions:
The highest popularity of fantastic creatures occured in Slovakia in the 16th-17th century, inter-connected with the value orientation of the period, characterized by reformation, counter-reformation, horrors of war and various persecutions. Before the mentioned period as well as after it the bearer of these ideas were, in a conscious way, the folk layers of population and, in a sub-conscious way, professional artists, who by conveying their ideas through symbols and fantastic creatures searched for the escape from various pressures of their times.
