Secesja

Bartłomiej Gutowski

Secesja, jako nurt w sztuce europejskiej przełomu wieków XIX i XX, to wyjątkowo wdzięczny temat. Ornamentacja, inspiracje sztuką japońską, linearyzm i subtelna kolorystyka sprawiają, że powstałe w tej tendencji dzieła zachwycają do dziś. Prezentowany album to kompendium wiedzy o secesji. Historyk sztuki nakreśla podstawowe informacje na temat nurtu, jego przedstawicieli, zróżnicowań geograficznych oraz wszelkich dziedzin życia, w jakich się objawił. Kolorowe fotografie uatrakcyjniają publikację.

Secesja. Na styku nowego i starego świata

Bartłomiej Gutowski

Secesja, Jugendstil, art nouveau, styl nowoczesny - to najczęstsze, chociaż nie jedyne, określenia dla nowoczesnego ruchu artystycznego, który zdominował kulturę wizualną przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Jego twórcy szukali inspiracji w otaczającym świecie, dlatego ich sztuka jest przepełniona pięknymi, swobodnie wijącymi się liniami, przedstawieniami roślin i zwierząt, zmysłowymi wizerunkami kobiet i kształtami geometrycznymi. Powstałe w tej tendencji dzieła zachwycają do dziś. W albumie Secesja, bogato ilustrowanym kompendium wiedzy o tej epoce, scharakteryzowano nurt i jego tło historyczne, najwybitniejszych twórców, zróżnicowanie geograficzne oraz wszelkie dziedziny życia, w jakich styl się objawił. Autorem tekstu jest Bartłomiej Gutowski, historyk sztuki, który specjalizuje się w sztuce i architekturze secesji, a także sztuce cmentarnej XIX i XX wieku. W obszarze jego zainteresowań jest również problematyka utopii miejskich oraz zagadnienia związane ze sztuką po 1945 roku.

Mila Lipa

Wyjął z szuflady biurka podłużne pudełko. Uniosła brwi, ale wzięła pakunek i delikatnie rozerwała czerwony, połyskujący papier. Uniosła wieczko i zobaczyła piękny, skórzany flogger. Rączka owinięta była plecioną skórą, a wychodzące z niej sznurki stanowiły misterną plecionkę z czerwonych i czarnych paseczków. Przesunęła po nich palcami, a potem zanurzyła nos w warkoczykach, by zaciągnąć się cudownym zapachem skóry. Jak mam to odebrać? zapytała, obracając w dłoniach prezent. Tak dziwi cię rózga? Nie powiesz mi chyba, że byłaś w tym roku grzeczna?" Ula to trzydziestoletnia, bezrobotna rozwódka. Gdy na swojej drodze spotyka Janka, dawnego kochanka, wiele jej problemów się rozwiązuje staje się jej nowym szefem, ale nie ogranicza się do wydawania poleceń jedynie w godzinach pracy. A im jest bliżej do świąt, tym jego apetyt na upominanie niegrzecznych dziewczynek jest większy. W tym roku zaplanował dla jednej z nich ekscytujący prezent.
