The topic of comparative analysis which is presented in this article is The Story of Beauty and The Story of Ugliness edited by Umberto Eco. Even the covers of these books show the contrast between men and women. How esthetic values build a feedback with sexual parity? Ugly men look at beautiful women – this patriarchal discrimination can’t be cancelled either by the parity of sex in The Story of Beauty, nor men who twice outnumber them in The Story of Ugliness. Also as the unfair sex they are prior sex: they humiliate themselves and elevate women

The article presented here contains a detailed analysis of two variants of ugliness aes-thetics in the work of Bruno Schulz. In the first part, aesthetics is discussed here as the “ugliness of kitsch”, i.e. the concept of valuing rubbish and bad taste. The author points out their similarities with the aesthetics of Camp. The second part of the article is devot-ed to the naturalist ugliness of the world presented in Schulz’s works. The fascination with disease, impurity and self-imposition is called “the ugliness of filth”. According to the author, all these phenomena fall within the definition of “anti-callistic” – the concept of art proposed by a Polish art historian.

M. Wollstonecraft Shelley's novel grew out of the experience of modernity. Technological progress and science put up a man on the threshold of the nineteenth century in a new cultural situation. This experience of reality as continuous change in man caused various fears to grow, which in turn required from him to develop new values, to determine what is good and what is bad. In such a situation is the title character of the novel Frankenstein, which deals with the scientist, who creates a new life without the participation of woman. So in terms of subject matter, character construction, who turns out to be an anticreator, the novel became an aesthetic shock to the audience, when it was supposed to be a novel about human dreams and fears.

For centuries the face has been considered an important part of the human body. Since ancient times until the present day a close connection with a man's inner (spiritual, psychological) properties has been ascribed to his face. The individual character of a person that finds its reflection in his/her physiognomy is a domain of interest of the portrait as a separate genre in art. The meanings that have been ascribed to the face have to a certain degree determined the ways it has been presented in European visual arts. The image of an ugly face has become one of the variants of presentation of this part of the body. Ugliness of the human face may have various forms. We know of presentations of deformed physiognomies, which resulted from experiencing strong emotions, as well as of images of evil figures to whom ugliness is ascribed as a feature resulting from the moral appraisal. One of the kinds of portrait compositions using deformed shapes of the face is caricature. It aims at ridiculing the presented person by deforming and magnifying its chosen features. Ugliness is in a way connected with humor. This connection can be seen, among others, in caricature that arouses amusement. Among the presentations that provoke laughter several varieties of humor may be distinguished. One of its kinds is irony. The main motif of the present paper is searching for this kind of humor, in which the element of criticism and of ridiculing another person can be seen. Two Quentin Metsys’s paintings were analyzed: „Ecce homo” from the Palazzo Ducale in Venice and „A Grotesque Old Woman” from the National Museum in London. Some traits of irony that are suggested in these works are an inspiration for further studies in this field.

This article’s thesis was an intention to analyze Hannibal Lecter’s way of thinking about beauty. The character of Thomas Harris’ novels series takes on the role of murderer-artist, who creates gruesome installations made of human bodies and prepares exquisite, cannibalistic delights. The first part of the article is a reflection on the possibility of a complete separation of ethics to aesthetics. It is an attempt to answer the question whether evil can be beautiful or just wear the beautiful mask. In the next part the author analyzes Hannibal’s artistry both in the Thomas Harris’ novels and their film adaptation by Bryan Fuller through the prism of Nietzsche's conception of art. The end of the article introduces the spiritual thread for discussion of aesthetics works by genius killer. Their beauty has signs of devilishness. Ambivalent feelings felt by recipients of Dr. Lecter’s art, bear the marks of moral warning.

This text is devoted to the phenomenon of realism in postwar German novel on the example of the younger generation author Julia Franck (Born 1970). The tradition of realistic writing in German literature reaches the first half of the 19th century when mainly Georg Büchner postulated and realized realistic art. Consecutive authors, the great realists of the 19th century like Theodor Fontane saw in realism not only the reflection of reality in literature but embellishing it. After World War II great German writers like Böll, Andersch, Koeppen or Walser recalled Western Germany with its society in their realistic novels. Their characteristic feature was objectively marked narration. And Franck’s novel is this way as well. Told from the perspective of four people it shows what was „talked about”. Repatriation or escape to the West did not mean entering paradise. Runaways still experience humiliation, have to deal with the environment and themselves. The esthetic category is ugliness. And from this perspective the lives of heroes/narrators are analyzed.

The article concerns the physiognomic portrayal in Eliza Orzeszkowa’s novel In the Provinces (Na prowincji). The writer used Johann Caspar Lavater’s treaty as well as his views on beauty and ugliness. Lavater’s theory was an example of the relation between soul and body; man became beautiful thanks to a particular type of professed morality. Orzeszkowa’s literary heroes always possessed more or less extensive physiognomic portraits, which explained their character. The observation of the “outer man” allowed the author to guess from bodily signs (head shape, mouth line, eye size, forehead, wrinkles, etc.) the “inner man”, his nature, character, strengths and weaknesses. The first part of the novel In the Provinces (Na prowincji) analyzed in a physiognomic manner shows the writer’s sensitivity for true and false beauty and the Greek kalos kagathos.

PL

Artykuł dotyczy portretowania fizjonomicznego w powieści Elizy Orzeszkowej Na prowincji. Pisarka korzystała z traktatu Johanna Caspara Lavatera, a także z jego poglądów na kategorie piękna i brzydoty. Lavaterowska teoria była przykładem związku duszy i ciała; człowiek stawał się piękny dzięki określonemu rodzajowi wyznawanej moralności. Bohaterowie Orzeszkowej zawsze posiadali mniej lub bardziej rozbudowane portrety fizjonomiczne, które tłumaczyły ich charakter. Obserwacja człowieka zewnętrznego pozwalała autorce na odgadnięcie z oznak cielesnych (kształtu głowy, linii ust, wielkości oka, wyglądu czoła, zmarszczek etc.) człowieka wewnętrznego, jego natury, charakteru, wad i zalet. Pierwsza część analizowanej pod kątem fizjonomicznym powieści Na prowincji pokazuje wrażliwość artystyczną pisarki na kategorie piękna prawdziwego i fałszywego, na greckie kalos kagathos.
