Polish essays on painting and photography from the 2nd half of the 20th century in the light of reflections on the essay as a form (of writing, cognition, and experiencing)
Abstract
Contemporary Polish essays on paintings and photographs (by, e.g. Z. Herbert, G. Herling-Grudziński,
W. Karpiński, J. Pollakówna, E. Bieńkowska, A. Olędzka-Frybesowa, and W. Nowicki) are
juxtaposed with the personal essay which was invented by Montaigne. A wide range of commentaries,
including ideas about this genre which were expressed by Th. W. Adorno, G. Lukács, and
G. Douglas Atkins, provide a theoretical background for the analysis. Selected Polish texts are
presented as artistic constructions that recreate the process of experiencing pictures and the
movement of thoughts of the essayistic “self” which uses many disguises (e.g. a traveler, amateur,
scholar and critic). A particular painting or photo, which is often artfully described by means of
ekphrasis, is treated by essayists as a starting point for analyzing many broader issues as well as for
indirect self-presentation.
