Folk Art in Poland
"The present book is a synthetic outline of the most important fields of folk plastic art in Poland represented as far as possible in their historical development. The authors regard folk art as one of the essential elements of the traditional culture of Polish peasants. The first chapters of the book describe the fundamental framework of the existence of village inhabitants, namely spatial systems of settlement, types of peasants' farmsteads, the shape of the dwelling and its interior. Gradually, we learn more about the furnishings of the house and objects of everyday use, with the whole richness of their forms and decoration. Beginning with wooden equipment -- carved and painted -- through ceramic artifacts and specimens of artistic blacksmithery, the authors pass to country-made textiles and to costume, distinguishing their most important types. Further parts of the book are devoted to art which expresses directly the spiritual culture of Polish folk, namely to such fields as sculpture, painting and graphic art, and to the creative work related to native, annual rites."--Publisher's description.
