Winking Matter

Summary/Abstract: The article describes a discovery related to drawings made by Bruno Schulz in the 1930s. When the drawings are turned upside down, some of the faces portrayed in the work are transformed into other faces with demonic features. This technique, previously unknown in Polish graphic art, nonetheless has a long tradition in Europe, and Schulz appears to be part of this tradition. Such deformations, transgressing traditional boundaries of art, and containing an element of mysticism are also present in Schulz strategies of imagination, present in his written work.
