Summary/Abstract: Colour imagery plays a significant role in Andrzej Busza’s poetry. This article is devoted to an examination of the semantic function and configuration of colour images in the poetry of Andrzej Busza. The author catalogues the most frequently recurring colours and colour combinations in these poems, describes their various contexts and thus denotes the way in which the poet uses colour. According to Wolski, colour in Busza’s poetry constitutes that element of description which aims at particularizing what is being represented, directs interpretation and enhances symbolic expression. The poems in which colour imagery is especially foregrounded recall impressionistic landscapes and prompt the reader to examine more closely the topography of the poem and the world that it reveals.
