November Night
Emotional and spiritual relations with Stanisław
Wyspiański and November Uprising (1830), education
worshiping the ideas of independence and special
admiration for S.Wyspiański. The book is not a
lecture, not at all, it only attempts to present
Wyspiański in the process of art and poetry creation.Introducing
Greek mythology characters onto Polish soil by
Stanisław Wyspiański - a unique event in the history
of theatre; and the illustrations to "Illiade"
and "Odyssey" - timeless approach to the motives;
this influenced me enormously.
Tabula Itineraria Marszruta-plan
podróży.
An itinerary – plan of a journey. The book
presents turning points in the biography of the
artist – painter, poet, writer... chosing
his own way again and again – attaining
his artistic personality.
