„Rozstrzelanie”. Ruchome linie Leopolda Buczkowskiego
Private Archive and Public Memory: Visual Art of Leopold Buczkowski

Summary/Abstract: An attempted interpretation of the multi-media nature of the art of Leopold Buczkowski, in particular within the context of his works recently donated by his son, Tadeusz, to the Museum of Art in Łódź and from that moment part of the Collections of 20th and 21st Century Art. By basing herself on an archival survey conducted at the Museum and interviews with members of its staff the author proves the integral nature of the written and drawn works as well as other domains of the arts pursued by the author of Czarny potok. Referring to, i.a. the conception proposed by Tim Ingold she tries not so much to view writing as drawing as to treat the writer’s drawings as a written record. The article focuses attention on several most important visual art functions fulfilled by the writer’s oeuvre: autobiographical, intimistic (drawn notes), documentary, anthropological (“ethno-graphic art”) and visual art as a performance of embodied memory and an element of a holistically interpreted narration.
