Abstract

Cwenarski, Rosołowicz. Wrocław’s very unique history of hoisting art up

Waldemar Cwenarski (1926–1953) as a young fine arts adept distinguished himself with a particular characteristic of spiritual nobility, his talent as a painter, as well as with personal cultural refinement and class. These can be glimpsed from his signature seen on many of his drawings. The signature is heteronomous and dedicational in character. In (Polish) initials DZJK the artist encrypted the following sentiments: Of Magical Soul Jean - Christophe (the initials of Polish title of the novels by Romain Rolland: L’âme enchantée and Jean-Christophe). He painted in a way that ignored the doctrine of social realism that was compulsory in his time. Jerzy Rosołowicz (1928–1982) created art based on his philosophical conception of “conscious neutral activity”. He was a draftsman and a constructor of images from plastic mass and, from 1967, also from optic glass. He wrote theorems, stories and diaries. He added to the trend of conceptual art with his utopian projects, like brilliant Neutrdrom — the Cone and Sphere or Creatory of Stalagnate Column: Millennium both of which became a source of inspiration to many artists in the World. One of them is Bogomir Ecker whose “Tropfsteinmachine” works have been displayed in Kunsthalle in Hamburg since 1996.
