This article refers to a “fantastic” period in Zdzisław Beksiński’s painting (1929-2005). The quest for the sources of imagination of this original Polish artist has a broad cultural background. Its horizons are marked by Marcel Brion and Roger Caillois’s research on fantasy as well as G. R. Hocke’s assertion regarding the epoch of mannerism. Taking the above into consideration, it can be stated that imagination has an achronological character and in the case of the herein described painter it was a determinant of his aesthetic style and artistic attitude. His specific creative technique involved breaking with the order of reality, bordering on a dream and using the mannerist-like rhetorical figures. Beksiński’s “fantastic realism” was based on oneiric visions transferred into small drawing sketches. Their range encompassed unconscious elements, dream and nightmare iconography and a-logical narrative structures, which the artist complemented, added nuances and subsequently developed while working on his paintings. Specific motifs, forms and palette of colours and matter encroach on the presence of those primary visions – the authentic “pictures form under eyelids”. However, their anteriority in the act of creation was indisputable. They carried a special meaning for Beksiński by summarising intense sensations derived from reality and dreams, he could, just for a moment, project himself beyond the material world and the reigning of the passing time.

The article compares the poetry of Roman Honet and the paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński. Departing from the general similarities between the artists, consisting in the presence of the aesthetics of the grotesque, fantasy, oneirism and surrealism, the author outlines some more specific similarities. Both artists, for instance, can be situated in the field of fantasy art, in which an important role is played by the incorporation into the image of miraculous and fantastic elements, a coherent imaginarium and creative techniques distorting the representation. Both Honet and Beksiński are reluctant to explain the significance of their works, giving the recipient the freedom to make associations or emphasising the intuitive nature of the creative process. Using representations of anthropomorphic hybrids, both artists point to the complex status of non-human entities, and hence also to the human being, in which the animal and the social are combined.
PL
Artykuł dotyczy porównania poezji Romana Honeta i malarstwa Zdzisława Beksińskiego. Wychodząc od ogólnych podobieństw pomiędzy tymi twórcami, polegających na obecności w ich dziełach estetyki groteski, fantastyki, oniryzmu i surrealizmu, wskazane zostają bardziej szczegółowe podobieństwa. Obu artystów można sytuować w obszarze twórczości fantastycznej, w której ważną rolę odgrywa włączanie w obraz elementów cudownych i niesamowitych, spójne imaginarium i zniekształcające przedstawienie techniki twórcze. Zarówno Honet, jak i Beksiński niechętnie tłumaczą znaczenie swoich dzieł, pozostawiając odbiorcy dowolność skojarzeń lub podkreślając intuicyjny charakter procesu twórczego. Za pomocą przedstawień antropomorficznych hybdryd obaj twórcy wskazują na złożony status bytów nie-ludzkich, a co za tym idzie, również samego człowieka, w którym łączy się to, co zwierzęce, i to, co społeczne.

The artistic output of Zdzisław Beksiński finds recognition all over the world. Not so long ago, his visual heritage was enriched by new, literary accomplishments – the collection of short stories written by the artist between 1963 and 1965. The present paper is an analysis of three most expressive pieces in terms of studied esthetics: Na końcu ogrodu, Centrala snów oraz Informator.Beksiński’s short stories are here placed in the context of postmodern melancholy characterized by affirmation of experienced emptiness the source of which was sought for in Beksinski’s generational experiences. On these grounds, a thesis is proposed where the holistic creative concept which merges visual and literary accomplishments is expressed by three figures: decay, repetition and ontological uncertainty. Not only is the object of the analysisa theoretical aspect of a worldview present in the literary works but it also functions as  a specific fictional-structural solution.
