In 'Old Masters', Thomas Bernhard immerses us in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, where the protagonist, Reger, reflects on art, life, and human mediocrity while observing a painting by Tintoretto. Through his scathing and critical monologue, Bernhard explores the relationship between art and existence, the solitude of the individual, and the decay of society. A work that challenges conventions and invites us to question our perception of the world.
Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard was an Austrian novelist, playwright, poet and polemicist who is considered one of the most important German-language authors of the postwar era. He explored themes of death, isolation, obsession and illness in controversial literature that was pessimistic about the human condition and highly critical of post-war Austrian and European culture. He developed a distinctive prose style often featuring multiple perspectives on characters and events, idiosyncratic vocabulary and punctuation, and long monologues by protagonists on the verge of insanity.
