Numer 2(48)/2018

Editorial

In the latest issue of our quarterly you will find texts showing how diverse the discipline of art history can be. Starting with its more traditional model, focused on determining the attributions of works of art and their numerous territorial and temporal affiliations (the article by Magdalena Łanuszka devoted to two late Gothic panel paintings currently found in the English collections), through the sentimental in its essence “temples of friendship” and “altars of memory” manifesting themselves as an echo of real garden realizations in albums created around 1800, preserved in the collections of the University Library in Wrocław (Anna Michalska); and ending with the artistic and “post-colonial”, closer to us in time, reception of Kazimierz on the Vistula River in the inter-war period (Piotr Cyniak). Add to this the analysis of references and analogies between the paint- ing of Alfred Lenica and Tadeusz Kalinowski and that one created at the same time behind the Iron Curtain (Michał Szymański); the text by Agata Knapik devoted to radical design projects created in the 1960s in Italy, and the diversity I signalled at the beginning will take on new shades. This is all the more so as the whole is crowned with extremely interesting studies – discussing in turn: the activity of contemporary Polish artists “living on the road”, i.e. Krzysztof M. Bednarski and Dominik Lejman (text by Magdalena Howorus-Czajka), and controversies related to the figure of Petr Pavlensky (Daria Skok) – and a review of a book devoted to the subject of audio-description, which has already been published in our quarterly (Anna Wendorff).
Therefore, I can only encourage you to read, during which they will appear both the Master of the Vienna Altar of the Scots and Umberto Eco with his impact on innovative architects, not to mention the “attack” on the noble Bank of France, which took place on 16 X 2017.
