What Did Not Władysław Strzemiński Write in the Autumn of 1934?

Author(s): Dariusz Konstantynów
Subject(s): Political history, Interwar Period (1920 - 1939), History of Art
Published by: Instytut Sztuki Polskiej Akademii Nauk
Keywords: Władysław Strzemiński (1893–1952); „Gazeta Artystów” (1934–1935); theory of art; art and politics of the Second Polish Republic;

Summary/Abstract: In Władysław Strzemiński’s Writings (published 1975) the article Blockade of Art (first edition: ‘Gazeta Artystów’ 1934, No. 3) featured an incorporated fragment of another text that could be found on the same page of the periodical: of Political Section (Odcinek polityczny) by Zenon Drohocki. The error resulted in the fact that researchers using the reprint of the Blockade of Art considered that Strzemiński’s statement as the artist’s only, yet extremely radical political declaration. The paper is to demonstrate why even without confronting the reprint with the first edition, the Blockade of Art in the version contained in the Writings cannot have been written by Władysław Strzemiński.
