…”The activities of the group Figuration Narrative were one of the most consistent statements in the artistic landscape of the sixties and seventies that followed a clear aesthetic and political logic. The references in their images put political, sociological, ideological realities into concrete terms, and it considered art, artistic activities, to be a subversive and at the same time – analytical discussion at with the social, political, ideological and mental situation, with the power mechanisms, with the methods of manipulation. “
(Excerpt from: Lorand Hegyi, Figuration Narrative – Kritik des Bildnerischen in der spätmodernen Konsumgesellschaft (Comments on the Images in Late-Modern Consumer Society), in La Figuration Narrative, Vienna, 2002))
