"I saw a woman of unconventional beauty." Hanna Bond defended the "Bykhau Madonna"
The recent work by sculptor Alexander Minkov, newly installed in Bykhau, provoked much negative reaction, which is partly shared even by the local district executive committee leadership. But blogger Hanna Bond (Bandarchuk) has a distinct opinion on this matter — a positive one.
"I will support the sculptor and his work 'To the Mother Woman', installed in Bykhau."
The work seemed touching to me. I saw a woman of unconventional beauty.
We are all not perfect, and neither are our works.
Back in 1853, German philosopher Karl Rosenkranz wrote a fundamental work "The Aesthetics of Ugliness," proving that "the ugly" is as complete an aesthetic category as "the beautiful," — the blogger wrote on Threads.
The sculptural composition "To the Mother Woman," timed to the Year of the Belarusian Woman announced by the authorities, was installed in Bykhau's park named after the 60th anniversary of the district's liberation from Nazi invaders. Public organizations and the Youth Council under the District Council of Deputies initiated the project, and funds were allocated by the Mogilev Regional Association of Local Councils of Deputies. Schoolchildren and state employees with red-green flags were gathered for the opening, and officials unveiled the figures to lyrical music.
After the sculpture began to be actively discussed online, comments were mostly critical and mocking. Even the local authorities, who solemnly opened the monument, later admitted that they had "major remarks" about it, and promised to fix the shortcomings by the end of the week.
