Zamienione głowy ‒ transformacje i sub wersje indyjskiego mitu

Author(s): Alicja Helman / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2019

The author presents an analysis and interpretation of a short story Transposed Heads by Thomas Mann. She also discusses its adaptations: two as films, and one theatrical. The story is a personal version of an ancient Indian legend, which was generously updated by the writer, who decided to go far beyond the original. This “metaphysical joke” became just a pretext to discuss subjects present in his other works, e.g. a predominating motive of a conflict between body and soul. It is very important that the recognition of the legend in the 20th century was thanks to Mann, and not the original story. Both avant-garde film directors and theatre director refer to Mann: Alejandro Jodorovsky in his La cravate (1957), Fernando Birri in ORG (1979), and the director of an Indian play Hayavadana (1970).

Copper and Its Meanderings: Perspectives on Jewish Metaloplastics in a Polish Context

Author(s): Aviv Livnat / Language(s): English Issue: 43/2019

Historic copper repousse was advanced and rejuvenated by the work of Jewish artists in Poland in the period between the two world wars. Numerous metaloplastics exhibitions were held in Warsaw and Łódź, engendering interest in artistic circles and among critics. Through works from the Jewish metaloplastic art scene, copper reliefs by Marek Szwarc, Chaim Hanft, Józef Śliwniak, and Arieh Merzer, the author attempts to shed new light on these very significant modern expressions of Jewish-Polish interactions created with copper. In the context of Polish culture and the art scene, copper was also making its comment on the fragile and complicated contacts between Poles and Jews with its inner spiritual essence of unity and within its depths.

Dzieje organów w Diecezjalnym Sanktuarium Matki Bożej Bolesnej w Skrzatuszu (cz. II)

Author(s): Wiktor Z. Łyjak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 8/2020

The text presents the actual condition of the Skrzatusz organs in the years 1833–1843 and the content of the files reporting attempts to successfully renovate them. The 19 voices instrument was created in 1874 and was built by the Sauer factory. The author explained ten (from the original twelve) registers, which only to some extent match the names of the voices given by two organmasters: Schallin from Trzcianka and Johann Masloff from Rzeczenica and he confronted with the message of Konstanty Kamieński (Kamiński) from Opalenica. In addition, he discussed the lists of the cost of repairing the organs made by the both above mentioned masters, with amounts for all activities related to the work. The article contains copies of German-language documents dealing with the costs of renovating the baroque instrument. This study is the second in a series of the history of organs in Skrzatusz.

A Registry for Movable Cultural Property of Significant Importance to Switzerland: Limit to the Cross-Border Movement and Right of Ownership

Author(s): Carine Simoes / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2019

Switzerland now has a federal registry of its movable cultural property of significant importance. This measure is based on the national legislation implementing the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. Only Swiss cultural property or property with a close link to Switzerland is targeted. The registry includes, inter alia, archaeological objects, sculptures by Alberto Giacometti, paintings by Ferdinand Hodler, and also a correspondence by Albert Einstein from the period when he lived in Berne and discovered the theory of relativity. The inclusion of cultural property in the federal registry has two major effects: it restricts both cross-border movement and property rights. On one hand, the permanent export of a listed cultural property is prohibited. Although a temporary export may be authorized for research, conservation, or exhibition purposes. On the other hand, registered cultural property becomes res extra commercium: acquisitive prescription, even in good faith, does not apply. As a result, registered cultural property benefits from enhanced protection against permanent loss due to theft and illicit export.

The linguistic image of the soul in Polish early modernist ekphrases inspired by Arnold Böcklin’s paintings

Author(s): Lucyna Bagińska / Language(s): English Issue: 13/2019

This article presents the results of a reconstruction of the linguistic image of the soul as an element of the represented world in the ekphrases by Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer, Maria Poraska, Zuzanna Rabska, Wanda Aleksandra Stanisławska, Lucjan Rydel and Karol Łepkowski. Their genesis lies in the fascination with works by Arnold Böcklin, one of the most famous painters of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The article focuses on the axiological aspect and opens with a definition of the terms ekphrase and work of art. The analyses of the poems mainly rely on the tools of cognitive linguistics: profiling, conceptual metaphor and amalgamate.

Zapowiedź Schulzowskich cliché-verre’ów

Author(s): Łesia Chomycz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 15/2020

A commentary on E. Menar’s essay “Sztuki graficzne. Z okazji odbyć się mającej wystawy grafiki oryginalnej w Borysławiu” that announced Bruno Schulz’s exhibition in Borsyławin March 1921. It is a brief account of the historical development of graphic arts. The author explains the essence and significance of graphics, including woodcut, etching,and lithography. The most attention he paid to the etching which, in his opinion, was the most sophisticated and difficult, allowing the artist to use a variety of materials. One of the most interesting aspects of the essay is the emphasis on the cliché-verre technique, rarely used in Poland but preferred by Schulz. Menar’s essay is of a high quality, perhaps surprising in a paper sponsored by and addressed to oil industry clerks. It seems that the author’s task to attract the reader (both the future spectator and the potential buyer) by an accessible introduction to the graphic arts and its tradition was fully accomplished. However, no information concerning E. Menar has been found and his identity remains unknown.

Queer immanence in Who is? Woyzeck: The technocentric utopia of the master and the slave

Author(s): Leo Rafolt / Language(s): English Issue: 19/2019

Montažstroj’s Who is? Woyzeck is a performative history about individuals’ open wounds that will probably never heal, especially in the context of technodemocracy and liberal deprivation processes. Woyzeck is a Georg Büchner hero whose voice is not able to be heard. He is deprived, deprivileged, and his behavior/labor is socially unacceptable. He is devoid of humanity, turned into an animal, pure zoe, and thus treated like one by the system. Montažstroj’s project was, therefore, eager to explore the politics of power where the individual is subdued to numerous forms of violence and the way these violent acts resonate on the surface of human intimacy. The rhythmic changing of scenes depicted social coercion and private agony; the play questioned the world of isolated and lonely individuals. Woyzeck was presented as a pure phenomenon, as an in-dividual trapped in a Hegelian master-slave relation, thus as a non-person whose body is being occupied and used in a specific situation of violence, love, betrayal, jealousy and murder, with no way out. The performance of two men and a woman on a stage, which is supposed to function as a specific community of life, bombarded with techno and rave music, together with pure channels of associations derived from various sources, primarily from Büchner's text, which was written in 1836, is thus analyzed as a deconstructive and multi-layered re-inscription of political and discursive regimes subdued by frenetic music samples.

Aleksander Ścibor-Rylski w tandemach: z Kawalerowiczem, Kutzem i Hoffmanem

Author(s): Piotr Śmiałowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 35/2019

Aleksander Ścibor-Rylski was one of the greatest Polish scriptwriters, who in addition to numerous films based on his texts, left behind a trove of abandoned scripts. This article introduces Ścibor-Rylski as a highly versatile author, as exemplified by three scripts he wrote: Wczasy pod lipą [Lime Tree Holiday], Zaułek św. Sebastiana [Saint Sebastian Alley] and Stara baśń [An Ancient Tale]. Each of these scripts was written in a different convention and each was ordered by a different director, hence the title of this article – Aleksander Ścibor-Rylski in tandem with Kawalerowicz, Kutz and Hoffman. Apart from an analysis of the three scripts, the article describes the way they evolved, Ścibor-Rylski’s favourite stylistic clues and the reasons they remained unfinished.

Ważyk – Ford – Starski. Historia pewnego scenariusza

Author(s): Małgorzata Hendrykowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 35/2019

The article presents the complicated story of a script, originally titled “ID Card”, was written in mid-1948 by Adam Ważyk. Had the script been approved for production, it would have been one of the first Polish post-war feature films. However, this did not happen. Apart from Adam Ważyk, Aleksander Ford, Jan Fethke and Ludwik Starski also worked on subsequent versions of the script. Due to complex political circumstances, none of the versions presented was approved by decision-makers. The author presents subsequent versions of the script which change along with social and political changes in Poland. The last version entitled “False Papers”, written by Ludwik Starski in 1968, contains clear elements of an action film. However, this was not a good time for this type of production. Over a period of 20 years, the script of “False Papers” underwent a peculiar metamorphosis: from a political pamphlet, to a didactic story, and finally, an action film with an unexplained mystery and war in the background. None of these versions became a film.

Uśpiony temat. O (nie)obecności problemu Marca 1968 roku w kinie dokumentalnym okresu PRL

Author(s): Maciej Pietrzak / Language(s): Polish Issue: 35/2019

The vast majority of documentary films relevant to the events of March ‘68 and its consequences were created after 1989, when the abolition of censorship and the opening of previously hidden archives allowed Polish filmmakers to explore previously prohibited topics. The article focuses on the earlier period, and its main objective is to find echos of this political crisis in documentary films created before the collapse of the communist regime in Poland.

Między stłumieniem a autentycznością. Metafora Don Carlosa w filmie Leontine Sagan Dziewczęta w mundurkach

Author(s): Daria Mazur / Language(s): Polish Issue: 32/2019

The article is a comprehensive analysis of the intertextual references to Frederick Schiller’s tragedy Don Carlos in Leontine Sagan’s movie Girls in Uniform (Mädchen in Uniform, 1931). The author considers the complex circumstances of the cooperation between the director and the artistic director, Carl Froelich, during the production. Moreover, she also presents the literary basis for the movie, namely the tragedy by Christy Winsloe (Gestern und Heute – Yesterday and Today).On this basis, the author analyses the multilevel presence of two phenomena in the movie: suppression and authenticity, which are related to the metaphor of Don Carlos and the plot of love between two women. The contexts for the analysis are inspired by research in the anthropology of romanticism, psychoanalysis, the psychology of sexual identity, and research on the works of Frederick Schiller.

Sklop zgrada Prirodoslovnog muzeja i Zoološkog vrta na Marjanu

Author(s): Katja Marasović,Robert Plejić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 42-43/2017

The Natural History Museum and Zoo compound in Split contains four buildings: a small restaurant built in 1909; a large restaurant built in 1913 and redeveloped into the Natural History Museum in 1926; the Split Aquarium built east of the museum, in 1928. All the buildings are derelict due to a single, rather persistent problem: a significant lack of financial resources. In 1991, the museum building suffered damage in the earthquake and was subsequently closed to the public. The small restaurant closed its doors in the same year. The aquarium was demolished in the period 1995 – 1996 due to its derelict structure. It has been established after a thorough critical analysis that the Zoo and museum compound, including the Meteorological Observatory building, represent significant architectural achievements that were designed in the first half of the 20th century by, then, the two most prominent architects from Split, Petar Senjanović and Josip Kodl. Petar Senjanović designed some of the most famous Art Nouveau buildings in the city. Josip Kodl, however, with his specifically designed buildings, introduced Early Modernism into his hometown. Senjanović, who was a graduate from the University of Vienna and Kodl, who was a gradute of Charles University in Prague, displayed, through their respective building designs, the immense artistic creativity in harmony with natural surroundings. The designs of the observatory roof and the small restaurant terrace were highly innovative at the time: their flat surfaces were made of reinforced concrete. These significant architectural accomplishments are reflective of the cultural identity of the city and its administration. Tolerance and, above all, enthusiasm towards new artistic concepts that were consantly displayed in this small Mediterranean city located in the peripheral region of the Dual Monarchy, should still inspire all the future renovation projects that would include both the compound and its surroundings.

Nove potvrde o izvornoj dekoraciji krova Dioklecijanova mauzoleja

Author(s): Vinka Marinković / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 42-43/2017

This paper addresses recent research findings on the stone fragment from the Split City Museum Collection of Stone Monuments (catalogue number MGS 4316). It has been established by the recent thorough analysis that this architectural stone fragment is in fact the imbrex of the gabled porch of Diocletian’s Mausoleum. Furthermore, the details that have recently been revealed on Vicko Andrić’s drawings, who was a renowned conservationist and architect from Split, confirm the accuracy of the analysis findings. It is also evident from the drawing that, during sounding procedure of the mausoleum roof in 1851, Andrić discovered a fragment similar to the one in the Split City Museum, yet slightly different in terms of figurative illustration. His fragment reveals a creature with bovine and human features, a common motif in the iconography of the works in Diocletian’s Palace. Based on the evidence presented above, the author suggests that there might have been more such fragments, assuming that they were exclusively installed on the edge joints of the eaves and the gabled porch of the Mausoleum.

KONZERVACIJA KAMENE RANOROMANIČKE KONZOLE S PRIJELAZA 11. U 12. STOLJEĆE

Author(s): Jasmina Hrustanović,Ivo Donelli / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 45/2019

This paper presents work undertaken by a conservator-restorer, beginning with historical research, analysis of the type and origin of stone, colour and lichen, and the following phases of mechanical cleaning and instruction for storage of a stone corbel. The stone corbel is the property of the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul convent in Split. It was transferred from the convent to the Department of Restoration and Conservation of Stone at the University of Split’s Academy of Arts so it could be cleaned and conserved. Classical conservation methods were used: dry cleaning with scalpels, chisel, steel wire brush, fungicide, ultrasonic needle, and pressure steam. Finally, the authors suggest how to safely store the Early Romanesque stone corbel.

Ікона «Богородиці Замилування з Єсеєвим Древом» кінця XVII ст. з церкви у Войнилові на Івано-Франківщині: мотиви та символіка іконографії

Author(s): Roksolana Romanivna Kosiv / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 2/2020

The purpose of the article is to interpret the meaning and symbolism of the Virgin Eleusa with the Tree of Jesse icon of the late 17th century from the Voinyliv church in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. The methodology of iconography and iconology, formal analysis, semiotics, and reconstruction were used to achieve this goal. The scientific novelty of the article is that the symbolism of the Virgin Eleusa with the Tree of Jesse icon of the end of the 17th century from Voinyliv was comprehensively interpreted for the first time, the idea of the connection of the old and new testaments was emphasized, the composition of the icon wasreconstructed, and most persons were identified. Conclusions. The 17th century Virgin Eleusa with the Tree of Jesse icon from the Voinyliv church presents a symbolic composition with a complex theological program. In the Ukrainian art of that and later times, there are several other examples of the Theotokos icons of complex iconography, but with other content and composition. The iconography of the Voinyliv icon reveals a connection with the praise of Our Lady, with the genealogy of Christ, with the continuity of the New Testament Church of Christ, and with the Synaxis of the Theotokos. The image of the Virgin Mary with the Jesus Child reproduces a variant of the miraculous Lidda-Rome icon, widespread in the Western Ukrainian art of the Peremyshl and Lviv dioceses of the second half of the 17th and early 18th centuries.

Патина в часових трансформаціях творів мистецтва як матеріальна ознака минулого

Author(s): Oleg Rishnyak / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 3/2020

The purpose of the article is to define the term "patina" in its material and immaterial dimensions, as well as to study the genesis of this concept in a wide range of its interpretations in the context of the values of authenticity and value of works of art. Methodology. The study includes general scientific methods of analysis, comparison, and explanation. The method of discourse analysis contributed to the understanding of the meaning of the term "patina" in different periods of formation of the restoration theory. The method of comparative analysis was used to compare different interpretations of the concept by researchers of one chronological period. The use of context analysis is due to the function of intertemporal communication of works of art and their social dependence. System method - to identify the general principles of building a structure, the natural relationships between its various criteria. Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the study of contradictions in the interpretations of the meaning of patina and in the combination of theoretical developments of scientists of the post-Soviet space with modern world restoration science. Conclusions. The study of various models of relationships between the initial state of the work and its temporal changes, analysis of a wide range of patina values, consideration of the restoration interpretation of an art object allow us to recognize patina as one of the criteria of the authenticity of a work of art. Scientific research and study of the concept of "patina" are of great importance for practical restoration, as they form the basis of specific restoration projects, methods, and recommendations.
