Barbara Murovec: Terminology and Iconography: paper read at the 3rd conference of Slovene art historians, Atrij ZRC, Ljubljana, 19 April 2008

Besides organizing the conference about art historical terminology, the authoress also read a paper about the terminological issues related to iconography, particularly about the question of Slovene titles of some mythological and religious motifs which are mainly uniform in foreign literature. The issue was presented through several concrete examples. Emphasized was the necessity of translating foreign lexica into Slovene language, since in this way the basis would be provided for the uniformity of Slovene terminology in the fine arts, and architecture in particular.
