Item Topografia sukcesu(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2006) Szymanowicz, MaciejItem Zaburzona epoka. Polska fotograia artystyczna w latach 1945–1955(Wydawnictwo Naukowe UAM, 2016) Szymanowicz, MaciejThe book is devoted to the most important problems in the development of Polish art photography from 1945–1955. The signiicant issues discussed here include many as yet unanalysed, such as: the creation of new institutional base and its entanglement in the centrally planned cultural policy; the resurgence of pre-war artistic strategies (e.g. pictorialism) and revival of the homeland photography programme used to document wartime destruction and Poland’s regained and newly incorporated territories. One of the key problems discussed in the book is the theory and practice of socialist realism, a subject as yet unresearched in the history of Polish photography. The book contains the proposition to interpret socialist realism as a ield of tensions, determined by the tradition and history of Polish photography, in which works were produced that were in accord with the oficial Party line, as well as others that eluded it. The book explains the mechanisms leading to the restitution of post-war photograph and the development of the institutional model surviving until the political transformation of 1989.
