Proroczy aspekt awangardy

Author(s): Bożena Tokarz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The art and poetry of the historical avant-garde contains prophetic elements referring to the later artistic development, which are not subject to a simple continuation but rather continuation via degradation. They result from the two prevalent tendencies at that time: from aesthetic aristocratism in the midst modern civilization’s equalizing tendencies and from seizure of non-art areas, rejection of tradition and reaching for sources; as well as from the perceived blemishes in the image of monolithic perfection. The post-avant-garde work rejected the ideology of the historical avant-garde believing in the role of the artist in the world, in unity, in aesthetic, social and technological utopias, by undertaking the following artistic activities: destruction in construction, language relativism, momentary artistic creation, emotionality against anti-emotionality, hybrid forms, anti-aestheticism, diffusion of arts, the focalization and multinterpretability of the world. The works of Srečko Kosovel and Julian Przyboś have in a different way initiated changes in the post-avant-garde poetry, using some of the mentioned strategies for expressing a different worldview.

A History Of The Croats: The Nineteenth And Twentieth Centuries (vol. 2)

Author(s): / Language(s): English

There are very few books on Croatian history in English, especially those covering the entire history of Croatia and the Croats from prehistory to the present day. For this reason, the researchers at the Croatian Institute of History, the largest and most important historiographical institution in the Republic of Croatia, decided to write a history according to the best academic standards, i.e. objectively and impartially described, and explain the most important processes, events, movements, organizations, political parties, and individuals in Croatian history that significantly influenced its course. The many centuries of Croatian presence in this area at the crossroads of Central and South-Eastern Europe have been crucially determined by the constant interaction of Croats with their immediate and more distant neighbours. It is equally important to keep in mind that the supreme political (state) centre of the Croats and the Croatian state was not always within the Croatian ethnic and political area. Consequently, the political, social, and economic development of the Croats was often influenced by external factors, so it is sometimes difficult for the uninitiated reader to understand the main historical factors and causes that have unquestionably shaped Croatian history until the present day.

Wygrzywalski and in the painting "The Last Chords of Frédéric Chopin" by Józef Męcina Krzesz. By depicting composer’s last moments, the artist referred to the tradition of academic painting, contemporary artistic trends, as well as to conventional elements of funerary iconography.

Kawiarniane impresje o sztuce w narracji "Próchna" Wacława Berenta. Spektrum postaw artystycznych na łamach „Chimery” po roku 1900

Author(s): Dorota Kownacka-Rogulska / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

An analysis of the condition of art would seem incomplete without taking into account the reflections of Wacław Berent, presented in Próchno in “Chimera” around 1900. Taking an external perspective on the internal decay of bohemia, the author seems to agree with the universalism of Leonardo da Vinci’s thought, whose theses, translated by Miriam, appeared in the last issue of the magazine. The necessity to wait out the bad times, mentioned by Leonardo in The Last Lecture, awakened in the writer a desire to take responsibility for art, to find cultural continuity and to deepen the reflection on its mission.

Czy były polskie teoretyczki sztuki? "O wychowaniu estetycznym" Janiny Mortkowiczowej

Author(s): Julia Harasimowicz / Language(s): Polish Publication Year: 0

The paper’s arguments make a case for “On Aesthetic Education” being more than just the first Polish text addressing the importance of cultivating an aesthetic sensibility, but also one of the earliest texts in the 20th century discussing art theory, explicitly exploring the social impact of art.
