Culture & the arts: reviewing a play, a book, an exhibition

Everything you need to talk about culture and the arts in Serbian, in one path. Start with expressive word formation - the augmentative that turns a man into quite a man, the diminutive that can read as fond or dismissive depending only on the base word - the charge Serbian packs into a single suffix when critics and storytellers want more than a plain adjective, then learn the vocabulary of plays, exhibitions and criticism, read about a public fight over a restored medieval fresco, listen to a curator walking a visitor through an exhibition one piece at a time, write a short review comparing two productions of the same work and finally describe a work of art that left a deep impression on you.
