This kind of commitment to professional work I classify as one of the highest ethical values.

– IVO POGORELICH

With her book, Mirna Rudan Lisak raises a number of questions about relations between productive and reproductive art. In addition, she gives excellent examples that turn everything upside down, without actually breaking the order. Reader necessarily asks himself the eternal question: chicken or egg?

– PROF. ZLATKO KAUZLARIĆ ATAČ, REVIEWER

I am glad that someone in Croatia explores complicated and difficult to understand connections between color and sound. Thus, I think that the exhibition of Josef and Anni Albers, organized to mark the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus, creates a perfect framework for Mirna Rudan Lisak’s lecture.

– SNJEŽANA PINTARIĆ, PH.D., DIRECTOR OF THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART ZAGREB

Reading Mirna Rudan Lisak’s book, I enjoyed perfectly polished sentences that are contemplative like haiku poetry.
