Artyści modernistyczni jako mniejszość
Modernist Artists as a Minority

Summary/Abstract: The authors tries to apply the category of minority to artistic groups, focusing primarily on the situation of Early Modernism artists, regarded in broader contexts. She shows that artistic milieus often find themselves in a “minority situation,” even though such a minority conforms only to some elements of the “hard” definition. A significant role is here played by the psychological dimension: the subjective feeling of “being a minority” and the expression of separateness. The bonding factors include recognizing the world in crisis, alienation and (self)exclusion, as well as anthropological similarity (theories concerning the higher level of evolutionary development).
