Post-war Letters of Leon Schiller

Abstracts

EN

Throughout his life, Leon Schiller conducted extensive professional and private correspondence. Many of his letters perished; most of those written before the war were lost along with the whole private archive of the artist during the Second World War, and only a part of those from the post-war period found their way to document archives and museum collections. More than a hundred of the preserved letters have already been published. Now we are publishing sixteen letters from 1946–1953. Schiller corresponded with his sister Anna Jackowska for dozens of years from the moment he left the family home in 1908. He wrote about his professional and family matters, recounted his impressions from his journeys, and talked about his theatre projects, dilemmas and feelings. The letters to Jackowska are very personal. From the post-war period only five of these have survived: two letters from 1946, two others from 1948 and one from 1952. The ones from the second half of the 1940s show great enthusiasm. The director is making sweeping individual plans, but also wants to organise the whole theatre life in the country.
