Warsztat podręczny Juliana Jończyka

Abstract

Art historians tend to identify Julian Jończyk with a few trends in art such as material painting at the outset of his work in the 2nd half of the 1950ies and concrete poetry, as well as performance and environment installations started in the mid-1970ies. In particular, the paper investigates the second phase of the artist’s work, with focus on projects and works related to both the artist’s own texts and his image of his body, united by the joint category of space. The artist presented his ideas in detailed conceptual essays. His works are richly documented by photographs and carefully edited catalogues. Yet Jończyk’s oeuvre still waits for a thorough academic analysis.
