Diese erste Monografie zum Werk Nedko Solakovs stellt die während der letzten zehn Jahre entstandenen Arbeiten des Bulgaren vor. Solakov bezieht aus klassischen Werken der Kunstgeschichte die Ingredienzen für seine fiktiven, häufig absurden Erzählungen. So jongliert er in einer zwölfteiligen Reihe von »repräsentativen« Gemälden, wie er sie nennt, mit den Klischees der Romantischen Landschaft im Sinne Caspar David Friedrichs. Die in altmeisterlicher Manier gemalten Bilder zitieren zwar Bildrhetorik und Konstruktionsschemata der deutschen Romantik, lassen jedoch deren theoretischen Überbau verschwinden: »Solakov will die heimelige Hausversion des Romantischen«, hat Peter Herbstreuth konstatiert. Alle Bilder weisen »a missing part« auf, eine Leerstelle, die irritieren soll. Mal fehlt auf den Bildern der Mond, mal ein Boot, mal eine Lichtspiegelung; allesamt bedeutungstragende Chiffren im friedrichschen Kosmos. Schließlich liest der Betrachter Hilfe suchend die Beschriftung der Bilder, auf der Solakov akribisch konstatiert, was den Kompositionen jeweils »fehlt«. Er dekonstruiert damit überlieferte kunsthistorische Vorstellungen und Erwartungshaltungen des Rezipienten: »do-not-trust-me-or-yourself-too-much«, wie der Künstler selbst formuliert.

Quality shoe but with a slight squeak.
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
Nice shoes with the classic Penny Loafer design. Fit was better than another brand I tried. Only reason not 5 starts is disappointment due to a slight squeak at times when walking.

Exact item ordered, quick delivery
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
I ordered these black Cole Haan penny loafers for casual wear with jeans, khakies, and even business casual with slacks and a jacket. They've always worked perfectly for these uses. The Cole Haan version is the most versatile and still meets my sophisticated look criteria. I wear a 9 1/2 M with almost all other shoes. I have found Cole Haan to run slightly wider and slightly shorter. This fit will work with thin and no socks and a little loose in width. . I'd likely order a 10 N next time. I tend to forget this but it runs consistent with me for Cole Haan. 5 stars for the shoe and service. My bad on the slightly off fit.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect.
Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

Really nice shoes
Size: 9, Color: Black Polished Full Grain
My husband enjoys wearing these shoes. Very classy looking. They fit well. They arrived quickly. He liked them so much he ordered another pair in a different color which have worked out just as well.
