Art faceoff:

Il est de notre devoir de comprendre
l’histoire de toutes les cultures
vivantes connues, même petites,
comme un tout...
(Arnold J. Toynbee)

Cette note d’Arnold Toynbee prend toute sa signification en notre époque de changements,
et sans doute plus encore dans les domaines de l’art et de la culture.
Slobodan Maldini exprime cette conception de la „totalité“ des civilisations passées et
nouvelles: il puise en elles son inspiration, le sens et les objectifs de son architecture,
sa foi en elle. Sans qu’il s’agisse d’évocation réductrice ou de nostalgie des temps révolus,
cette poursuite de la totalité passe par une étude longue, patiente; elle est le fruit
d’une pénétration constante des couches profondes du passé, menée dans l’espoir de
découvrir un esprit et un langage qui, tout vieux et fini qu’il paraisse, porte le germe du
nouveau, le défi du commencement.
Biljana Tomić, 1985

Arnold Toynbee’s remark has taken on its full meaning in our era of change, and no
doubt even moreso in the fields of art and culture.
Slobodan Maldini expresses this conception of past and present civilisations forming a
„whole“: he goes to them for inspiration, for the meaning and purpose of his architecture,
and his faith in it. Without it being a question of a limiting or nostalgic reminiscence
of the past, his pursuit of „wholeness“ involves a long patient study: it is the result of
constantly penetrating the deep layers of the past, undertaken with the aim of discovering
a spirit and a language which, no matter how old and spent it may seem, carries in it
the seed of something new, the challenge of a beginning.
Biljana Tomić, 1985
