Summary:
Olga Prader's engraved epic reminds me, surprisingly, more of Sartre's vision of hell in ‘Huis Close’ than of Picasso's ‘Suite Vollard’, although the strictly formally paraphrase of the latter is as obvious as brilliant. Prader's four elementary archetypes are suffering a predictable and repetitive social intercourse, their positions are locked and no major change in the(...)

Summary:
Olga Prader's engraved epic reminds me, surprisingly, more of Sartre's vision of hell in ‘Huis Close’ than of Picasso's ‘Suite Vollard’, although the strictly formally paraphrase of the latter is as obvious as brilliant. Prader's four elementary archetypes are suffering a predictable and repetitive social intercourse, their positions are locked and no major change in the sequence is likely to happen (even if it does). The drawings, however, contains an exuberant dynamics. Prader, unlike most generation peers, is more oriented towards a subjective, imagination driven expression than smart and trendy stylistics.If you love Picasso, you will love Prader even more!

When I was young my dad bought me a pair of uneven stilts. He always bought me gifts like trampolines and model kits. When I was old enough he bought me a hooker. He told me that she was his friend and that she liked little boys. I was in love with a ballet girl named Shirly. She was short and beautiful, she wore silver slippers and black bifocals. When I made love to the prostitute my father watched, he was telling me what to do, "Good job, now rub her ass." My father hated ballet so he refused to let me see Shirly.
