Mama naga. Nagie ciało matki we współczesnych sztukach wizualnych
Mum naked. The naked body of a mother in contemporary visual art

Summary/Abstract: Andrzej Pitrus’ article is about the presence of the marginalised motif of acts of artists’ mothers. This theme is not common in visual art, as it is one of the remaining taboos. The works discussed in the article deal with this taboo in different ways. Creators of the works analysed explore various spheres – for some mother’s nakedness is a pretext for exploring intergenerational relations, for others it is a way of dealing with pop culture clichés, while some examine the sphere of sexuality. Andrzej Pitrus uses examples from a wide range of visual arts: films, photography, video art and video installations.
