In the work-title Góra Ananas [The Ananas Mountain], which was given to this drawing in the museum’s catalogue, we can clearly see the limitations imposed by the tools of the museum inventory and the history of art’s nomenclature.

For how can one describe sch a petite picture that glows with humour, ironic commentaries and pure nonsensical connotations? The richness and precision of the details, the lightness to make verbal as well as visual associations, make us feel somewhat hopeless. At this point only our imagination and sensitivity can be of value, letting us discover the multilayered visual of this seemingly insignificant work. It seems that Bok once again is drawing from his passion for the mountains – climbing the peaks, exploring caves, from the specific atmosphere, the language, but also the sense of community present among the mountaineers and hikers.
