Summary/Abstract: The book Space and Time in the Transmission of History through Painting presents an artistic and scientific project carried out by the author in 2018 as a creative commemoration of the Wielkopolska Uprising 1918-1919 on the 100th anniversary of its outbreak. The work presents painterly documentation, a personal registration of the landscape of history of the places associated with the Wielkopolska Uprising. The evolution of this landscape is shown through the creation of original painting space-time, which takes into account the changes of space observed over time, and which generates reflections on its reception in the context of the overlapping of historical time with contemporary time. A multidimensional and colourful message is presented through painting, illustrated with reproductions of the author's paintings created on the basis of retrospection, and a comparison of the currently observed landscape space with its historical context. The book introduces the artist's working technique and presents her innovative technique of structural painting in combination with photography and digital printing. The subject matter is supplemented by texts, documentation of the creative process and photographic accounts of exhibitions and educational meetings organised by the author in places of historical inspiration. The project was conducted over an area of three voivodeships in six localities where the activities of the Wielkopolska Uprising were marked. It was awarded a grant by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage.
