But a decade later, in 1974, Sigurimi (communist Albania’s notorious security police) ordered him to destroy this nude, alongside others that he kept in his studio. In 1964 the National Art Gallery acquired one of Paço full-figure nudes. Students of socialist realist art were to learn from the best examples of Graeco-Roman classical art. Janaq Paço (1914-1991) specialized in sculpting classical nudes, this being the canon of beauty on which in which the approved vision of the healthy muscular body of the socialist worker or peasant was steeped. No talk or images of the erotic (let alone, sex) were permitted in public sphere. Socialist (communist) art was not only to reproduce an enhanced (that is, unreal) reflection of the reality of ‘people’s work and progress,’ but was also quite prudish.

The system came to an end around 1956 across the Soviet bloc, but not in Albania, where Stalinism (with a hint of maoism) ruled supreme until the fall of communism in this country in 1992. That was the dogma of stalinism in the field of fine arts. Socialist realism was art for politics’ sake as opposed to bourgeois (capitalist) art for art’s sake. The paintings and sculptures exhibited there are solely from the 20th century, the majority of them originating from the communist times. During one of the very few moments left by this intensive program I happened to visit the National Art Gallery in Tirana, Albania’s capital.

In late November 2015 I visited Albania and Kosovo with a series of lectures on ethnolinguistic nationalism.
