Film Posters in Poland
"This book examines the history of the film poster in Poland. Dorota Folga-Januszewska's story of this intriguing corner of the art world is illustrated with nearly 480 reproductions of posters not infrequently inspired by painting, graphic design and film art. From the earliest moving pictures, through the avant-garde and psychoanalytic theories of the interbellum, to the birth of the Polish poster school, and into the present day, we see how the worlds of film, reality and the imagination of the artists are reflected in the film poster. Reality and the imagination of the artists are reflected in the film posters."--

The Sound of Modern Polish Poetry
An illuminating new study of modern Polish verse in performance, offering a major reassessment of the roles of poets and poetry in twentieth-century Polish culture. WhatÕs in a voice?

Art beyond Borders
This book presents and analyzes artistic interactions both within the Soviet bloc and with the West between 1945 and 1989. During the Cold War the exchange of artistic ideas and products united Europe’s avant-garde in a most remarkable way. Despite the Iron Curtain and national and political borders there existed a constant flow of artists, artworks, artistic ideas and practices. The geographic borders of these exchanges have yet to be clearly defined. How were networks, centers, peripheries (local, national and international), scales, and distances constructed? How did (neo)avant-garde tendencies relate with officially sanctioned socialist realism? The literature on the art of Eastern Europe provides a great deal of factual knowledge about a vast cultural space, but mostly through the prism of stereotypes and national preoccupations. By discussing artworks, studying the writings on art, observing artistic evolution and artists’ strategies, as well as the influence of political authorities, art dealers and art critics, the essays in Art beyond Borders compose a transnational history of arts in the Soviet satellite countries in the post war period.
