ANATOL STERN'S AVANT-GARDE COLLECTIVES

Summary/Abstract: The subject of the paper is a set of various forms of avant-garde collectivity and cooperation in the work of Anatol Stern. Displaying the key contradiction between the collective and the individual tendencies within the avant-garde appears to be an important aspect of the proposed depiction. Baron-Milian analyses the collective creative practices and forms of Stern's cooperation in the 1920s and later, pointing at those among them he was involved, inter alia, with Aleksander Wat, Bruno Jasieński, Mieczysław Szczuka, Henryk Berlewi, Stefan Kordian Gacki, Stefan and Franciszka Themerson, or Alicja Stern. The article aims to capture the distinctness and diversity practices of collective creativity shown in the perspective of theories of avant-garde group, collectivity and cooperation which were formulated both by avant-garde theoreticians and historians, as well as by artists. Additionally, the author of the paper proposes some possible future directions for research in avant-garde collectivity.
