Między wierszem a obrazem. Pojęcie "ram" w warsztacie językowo-wizualnym Stanisława Dróżdża
Between a Poem and a Picture. The Term ‘Framework in Linguistic-Visual Workshop of Stanislas Dróżdż

Summary/Abstract: Stanislas Dróżdż’s concrete poetry is analyzed in the context of the relationship between poetry and visual arts. His work is considered as locatedon the border between the two domains, synthesizing means of expressionof both of them. However, after analyzing the sketches and notes fromthe archives of the poet, we may conclude that the source of his interestin the visual side of the poetic text is not in art, but in the sciences – especiallyin mathematics – and in visualizations of concepts. In the second half of the sixties, when Dróżdż went from linguistic poetryto ‘concept-shapes’ – as he called his concrete pieces of art – he was formulatingconcepts and reaching to his experience from before he studiedthe Polish language; his experiences were connected with mathematics. The term ‘framework’ to which the poet refers in his original creativeconcept, erroneously may be associated with painting; in fact, it is moretechnical and is closer to the conception of photographic frame: his textsare often based on ‘cutting’ the rectangular shape in the text. The inclusionof measures in the sphere of visual poetry is considered as veryimportant contribution by Stanislaw Dróżdż to contemporary poetry anddifferent arts.
