Abstracts

EN

Painters belonging to the Cracow-based ”Wprost” group and Jerzy Ryszard ”Jurry” Zieliński created two poetics making it possible to take a critical look at the reality of communist Poland. Paintings executed by members of the ”Wprost” group depicted the greyness, poverty and hopelessness of the surrounding world but left a residue of hope, usually rather “insubstantial”. Metonymic daily life merged with moral and religious metaphors. The canvases painted by Jurry were of a sheer dialectical nature and their recipient was compelled to set into motion his aspect-perception (Wittgenstein) in order to decipher their contents – he had to be capable of reading between the lines.
