AFTERIMAGE
Starring
This is the end of our Varsovian!
Excuse me, where can I find it? Professor Strzeminski?
Professor Strzeminski...
Ah... there!
He sees you, he will be here.
But how can he get here?
Like this!
Crazy people!
My Lord, are you okay
Will you not help disabled people?
I'm sorry. I...
I am Wladyslaw Strzeminski and I'm fine
Welcome to Lodz School Fine Art Field Trip
I have left the rail because you, sir
I know, Jadwiga, this is my fault.
- What's your name? - Hanna.
Miss Hanna
Pictures must be what you absorb
from this...
from this.
When we see an object, we get the shadow in our eyes.
When we stop seeing it
and move our view to another place
an afterimage of the object remains in the eye
Trace objects with The shape is the same but the color is opposite.
An afterimage
Afterimages...
is the color of the inside of the eye who sees the object.
Because someone really only sees what he realizes
How did he lose his arms and legs?
He never told us,
But it's better not to ask.
December 1948
First Congress of the Polish Union The Workers' Party has just closed.
We will apply the most important Congress resolution.
We will struggle to make it happen

Bringing Poland closer to socialism

we can unite the broadest mass of people.
Live the Poles.
Live a heroic work class.
Live Poland's United Labor Party.
See!
Jesus Christ!

I live here, I'm a painter.
You come with us
Stand up!
Name.

Soviet citizens
Polish citizens
Profession?
Painter.
Artist.
Workplace?
State Art College in Lodz,
lecturer in art history.
So, citizens of Strzeminski...
You will travel to the Security Office. And that's where God knows where.
So now God rules in the Security Office?
Good morning, Professor.
My office, please
Good...
We have a problem with you
with me?
with you.
Professor, artist.
You know very well that this country is heading in a new direction and you oppose it.
In the Russian tsar, you will be fired to Siberia to do that
But we can't do that.
Unfortunately, we must educate.
I am not against you, I only have a different view of art.
Let me read to you something I have here
Right, what do we have here?
What do we have here?
Here it is.
The line between politics and art has been lost It turns out that the evil in both is the monopoly of the same evil group.
Let's liquidate them without mercy,
Not only because they took over palace of art and the press,
but mainly because they are blocked justice with all their actions,
because they are destroying It's not just art, but above all men.
That's why painters, poets and writers are no longer artists.
You have become, whether you want or not,
the army in the political field... yes, in the political part of the common front.
Do you recognize this?
I wrote it
In the fall of 1934, I thought.
This is not about you, this is about Sanasi Well, if it's in 1934 Surely this isn't about us.
Even though we were in the Soviet Union at that time, could have been about us.
Mister Strzeminski...
You have talent, you have a way with words, I can't write better myself.
So why don't you want to join the changes
instead of sabotaging our ideological lines?
After all, you were in the heart of the revolution and what now?
Mister Strzeminski...
You are not stupid
But believe me, I'm not stupid either.
You stand at the crossroads
and you can't stand here anymore.
Whatever path you choose...
You bring that fate to yourself.
Wladyslaw Strzeminski and Katarzyna Kobro are avant-garde artists.
on St. Petersburg, he worked with Malevich, a famous, well-known artist in Moscow, after the revolution, He took part in the exhibition.
After returning to Poland, he settled in Lodz, where he, Henryk Stazewski,
The famous poet Julian Przybos and others form a. r. group,
which stands for Revolutionary Artists.
In this room you can see the artist pieces of this period of his work...
Strzeminski also designed this room, called Neoplastic Room.
Here you can see unusual sculptures by Katarzyna Kobro,
creator of the concept unlimited space,
Please note the relationship between these statues and modern architecture...
You can get closer, Don't touch the exhibition.
Let's continue.
Nika!
- Are Strzeminski and Kobro your parents? - Yes they are.
But they are not together.
Good morning.
And why is it so empty here?
- This is Wednesday. - I know this is Wednesday, so what?
They are all in the hall
for college Professor Strzeminski.
And you?
I am looking for the dean's office.
- There, to your right - Thank you.
Seeing not one, is not specified, abstract action,
but an action, the process of seeing at certain times.
Nature has its own "center of interest". which attracts greater attention.
We see it while moving from one point of interest to another.
When we see Van Gogh's view, we see identical and repetitive divisions.
How should we see nature to be seen like Van Gogh's painting?
And he sees it a normal, natural, physiological view?
Which display do we use?
The answer comes when we draw Our view is projected onto the scene.
Four glance along the horizon, each focuses on the center of its own interests.
So an identical repetitive split appears in the image
Not because of the "formalist" Van Gogh hopes for an unknown subjective reason
but because he reproduced accurately the process of looking at the landscape
with four parallels, at a glance which is directed in sequence.
Comrades, colleagues!
Let me remind you today we are hosting the Minister of Culture.
This is a lecture.
Please leave, close the door!
After the speech of the Minister Comrade _ there will be a meeting
and debate about our school and our artistic circle.
Immediately stop this class
and prepare the room because in one hour we will host our honored guests!
Attendance is mandatory.
Prefect will check attendance.
And this is Van Gogh's realism.
Realism of living humans, A man who sees not abstractly,
but through living material organisms from the physiological body.
Not acceptance of spiritual experience, but physiological ones.
Thank you.
Why? You do not know
On Wednesday I listen to the great ones lectures Professor Strzeminski.
- Varsovian said he could type. - I am moonlighted as a typist, 200 words.
Very? And what else can you do?
The office has an old German typewriter,
they have new Czech people, but I'm not with his secretary...
Professor, can we come tonight?
Of course, you are all accepted.
Chancellor, please don't exaggerate.
Professor Strzeminski has provided it great service for this city
He created the first modern museum art in Poland and the second in Europe.
- The position is unshakable. - Do you think so?
Will you stay meeting with minister?
- I will. - Thank you very much.
It's good that you are here
It is our duty to be present everywhere Important issues for culture are decided.
- I'm afraid we will be handcuffed - Don't come out with something like that.
Ladies and gentlemen, today is a fun day.
I really welcome our esteemed Minister of Culture.
Nations have the right to place their demands on artists and one of the most basic demands is that the deeper layers of art,
purpose, intention
must meet the needs of the community,
no doubt, If what they need is enthusiasm,
belief in victory,
not for apotheosise depression,
When people want to live and work.
The next step in Party offensive in creative circles
determined by the following demands:
socialist realism in art,
war against " cosmopolitanism and Western cultural slavery"
with the use of Soviet achievements artists and their ties to the masses.
The party will defend socialist realism
but that shouldn't bother us.
We need to rebel against formalistic and cynical art that has no ideology against decadent capitalist art, and against American cosmopolitanism.
Therefore I repeat with all my strength:
The art that proclaims the lack of ideology is the enemy of people who work!
Minister, may we ask questions first: is it an art work?
For me, a work of art is about specific form rather than flat realism.
I always say
I fight for existing art models most suitable for a certain period,
because art is a laboratory form.
In art, the only thing that matters is those who open the way for new forms.
New art must demand respect not for its usefulness but for its superiority.
But I saw that now you are looking for lost the boundary between art
and politics,
and what is worse is the interest of one group.
Thank you.
Oh, today you have been a long time, Professor.
Move it
- this is you - There was money for the past month.
- Congratulations on eating. - Thank you.
If anyone disagrees with this statement "Strzeminski spreads fermentation to school,
he undermines other authorities lecturers, and promotes pure formalism
when art should be to stimulate society to act ",
please raise your hand
None In this case, I propose a motion Professor Strzeminski
and I give it to vote. Who supports
I rely on you responsibility, friend.
I think we need more time to think.
I am very sorry for the Chancellor, but...
As a student, I know how much he devotes to his students.
It's about his ideological attitude.
Our common line of combat for socialist realism
is outlined by the great Marxist classics: by Lenin, and with Stalin's words. Yes, of course I understand that, but I still doubt it.
In this room gathered teachers and also members of the Party.
Comrade, why don't you show more confidence in our collective experience?
I advise you to change your position.
I repeat the sound. Who supports?
- Roman! - Where are you going?
When the storm blows
There is no fear in their hearts
Because we know it's Stalin... No...
Because we know it's Stalin...
is watching us with hope
From the Kremlin.
You smoke too much.
Dawn with a smile
All worries disappear
We gladly move to great deeds
People,
workers and farmers.
Father, I don't have it place in school to study this.
Oh, and here it is.
- What is that? - Recipe.
- For you? - No, for moms The money is in my pocket. Take.
All of that?
See you later.
Why don't you enter
[Class canceled]
- Why was my class canceled? - We receive a letter about you
Why is my class canceled?
In accordance with paragraph 6 of a work contract with staff,
I order immediate termination contract with Professor Strzeminski
starting on March 31 1950.
At the same time, Professor Strzeminski will be given paid leave
for periods up to termination date
Artists are gone?
Paid?
That is the decision of the Minister of Comrade.
We want to continue your studies with you, not at school
Who will give you your letters if you leave school
School is a good place. I co-founded it.
What happens now is just a historical wind
It will calm down and pass.
Don't do something stupid.
Ok, but what happened now, Professor?
What? I do not know.
New time will come There will be nothing like before.
- goodbye, Professor - Goodbye.
He speaks like a prophet.
- You are deeply in love, you are blind to the world. - He just opened my eyes to it.
Hania, Hania...
Calm down, I won't bother you.
You smoke too much.
I'm not hungry.
Oh, dad!
I made this pancake.
Not a mother.
One winter he pulled you from the sled.
You remember that
You are four... five years later.
It's good winter.
He pulls the sled on ice.
You are sitting, and you crutches lie on the sled.
Then he is very tired there is no power to pedal shoes down the hill with me.
Take it away
I usually sew this for you.
And now?
What letter is
Which one is that?
My sentence
They fire you from work.
Wladyslaw Strzeminski is the most important 20th century Polish artist.
Your poet has extraordinary things tendencies for ecstasy and overdoing.
Alright okay.
After the revolution
Strzeminski works with Kandinsky, Chagall and Malevich.
Artists who have been made For us, only rebels and traitors.
He is a lecturer, students love him.
I appreciate your gestures friendship with Strzeminski
but please answer one question.
As an artist,
Comrade Przybos,
Which side are you really?
- OK... in yours - In & apos; yours & apos;
Or... & apos; ours & apos ?;
Remember that in these days there is only one choice!
But in art, it is death.
- In art, different worlds must collide. - But the world has been determined.
Everyone fights on the ideological side. Why do we need Strzeminski?
All "formalism" and "avant-gardes" are his,
these "unisms" and "afterimages".
This does not build socialism.
Right...
You are trapped in Switzerland as our ambassador is too long
I think you will better understand the modern world,
when you visit the Great Exhibition from Soviet Painting
Very enlightening.
And you, Mr. Strzeminski,
you know,
You have to be hit by a tram!
- Good morning, Professor. - Hello Professor.
- Hello - Hello
Professor, please see.
Professor,
this is our photo
for Saturday exhibition at the YMCA.
That is the only place we can show.
I think so...
But what do you think of them?
Every choice is good
because it's yours
To find your way, don't paint like Mondrian, because he already did it
Even Mondrian should be not paint like Mondrian.
- Don't paint like Strzeminski. - Even you can't paint like Strzeminski.
You are there
Professor, you are Malevich's assistant,
I mean he must know that his property abstraction is incomprehensible,
can not be understood by people.
Malevich closes himself in a combination of geometric shapes.
You can admire all this work,
but only to reject them and search for your own expression form.
But how to find it?
The choice is always up to you.
In art and love you can only give what you have.
And here you have a different answer:
We hope the paintings of artists to be very realistic,
shows the world in a revolutionary way, in the spirit of socialist demands.
Art that proclaims a lack of ideology or indifference to social problems
basically is the art of an ideology is hostile to progress,
for everyone who works. Never have and will never have neutral art.
That's what they wrote afterwards National Fine Arts Festival.
I also used to believe the only purpose art was to serve social change.
But it happened in 1919.
I still believe in revolution.
- So now you don't support realism? - OK
I think you need to paint in harmony with yourself,
if I haven't convinced you, then do something else.
No no!
Goodbye, Professor!
- Thank you goodbye. - Goodbye, Professor!
Goodbye!
Hanka?
You expect someone
Other people...
Your students keep coming to you?
They are.
Nika, save it.
Mothers say they don't know what they do.
Who?
Those who fired you
You remember that
Mother usually sews this.
He sells it on the market.
I took it for him. I will take him to the hospital.
So he remembers
it used to be worse.
The October Revolution leads to the victory of socialism.
This shows masses around the world can free themselves from the exploiters
and build a new life to ensure universal human development.
Sit down!
Nika Strzeminska.
Come with me.
At his mother's funeral with a red coat!
I don't have another coat.
That's all, enough!
Return to the car.
That's what I can expect.
What are you doing here?
I have been billed to this apartment
And me? What should I do?
You are not an orphan, right? You have a father
In addition, you already live in... Karolewska St.
At home children.
This is a statue of by a famous sculptor,
Katarzyna Kobro,
my mother.
I will pick them up tomorrow.
Please don't move them.
That's how children see.
My daughter draws it when she is six years old.
This is a contour vision.
Everyone sees differently.
Art goals are to dictate their rights to reality.
However, they dictate us.
I will type it.
If it doesn't cause problems for you.
So you know, Professor?
About what?
Your "Vision Theory" is prohibited at school
Yes, the chancellor is doing everything to delete every last trace of yours!
I don't want you to take any risks. They can drive you out
Professor!
What happened?
When?
Yesterday the day after tomorrow.
- Why don't I know? - He doesn't want you to be at the funeral.
Poor.
I will put blue flowers in his grave.
The blue one Why is the color?
He has blue eyes like that.
Beautiful people
You also have the same thing.
Can I live here?
After the release, he bought it in the Green Market for 60 zlotys.
Remember?
He baptizes you in the Orthodox church.
Not my fault.
Then you baptize me with a Catholic.
So finally me?
Sir, can we start?
Yes we can.
Women and men, please leave the room
But why? I just entered
- This is our order Please go - But what is this habit?
Please do as I say. Please come in.
Hurry, come on!
You know what to do.
This way, faster.
Sir, what happened?
I'm sorry, Roza, This is the command I got.
Liquidating Neoplastic Rooms immediately!
New time will come
Professor, don't you remember me?
Roza Saltzman, right?
So you remember!
Well, you are my student.
Professor, I...
I will go forever.
To Israel
If you can entrust me with but some...
Have you collected it? "For My Friends, Jews"?
Professor, I've just been at the Museum of Art,
to say goodbye to your work, but I can't.
Do you know what happened there?
Neoplastic Space has been liquidated.
I see it with my own eyes.
Professor...
What you make must be safe...
Then the world will have access to it...
[Polish Association Artists and Designers - Lodz]
Hello Professor.
Good morning.
I want to ask for my down payment payments and food stamps.
Morning, Professor
What face
This is the documentation for the design approved by the contractor.
This is a relief for the "Exotic" cafe.
Professor, you are not entitled to any progress,
because the commission has not yet approved the design.
Can I have your membership ID?
Professor, it's not valid, it's not stamped.
You have used illegally an outdated Association ID.
I have been a member since it was founded.
I pay my membership fee.
President?
The president is not here today.
Professor, in January you were excluded from the Association.
We send you a decree. Didn't you accept it?
Now, there will be problems with these costs
You must write a letter to the President to request a refund
Do you want to see sample request letters?
Professor?
Here it is
Professor, please eat or it will cool again...
Someone has sent Association commission after you.
They question your work. But we will show inspiration to them.
That shows years colonial exploitation
- That's the title I gave. - Konrad hopes it will convince them.
- Why are you here? - Let me pass
What happened here? What are you doing?!
As a commission from the Artist Association we make the decision to liquidate your work.
Listen, residents of Strzeminski.
Stopping!
Minutes of review of acceptance of from "Exotic" cafe decorations in Lodz.
Gentlemen, don't destroy this. I will cover it with this curtain.
Get out of here.
... from decorating "exotic" cafes in Lodz in Piotrkowska St.
- Gentlemen, this is a work of art. - I said, get out of here
The Commission consists of Jerzy Grygiel, Romuald Jackowski,
Jerzy Mazurczyk, Ignacy Guttman has decided as follows:
After checking the site from the "Exotic" cafe place
Commissions do not accept decorations are made with polychrome reliefs.
Basic relief liquidations are recommended under the supervision of representatives
Regional Representative Council Artists and Polish Designers in Lodz.
In the opinion of the review commission, cafe decoration characters
contrary to current standards in art
due to socialist realism. Signed...
Bullshit! I have given the title of this project "Colonial Exploitation".
This is the original work of African art...
- That's why internet cafes are called "exotic". - An English book, huh?
Imperialists might like it...
Professor, you do not agree with the review the committee consists of your colleagues.
So who are you?
At mine
Continue.
Return to work!
I got an A score In Poland
The only one in class.
I will make you fresh.
I have a rim of paper.
Coffee.
I also bought this on the road.
Daddy, you smoke too much.
This comes again.
Do you know where the scissors are?
Where is the icon?
In a drawer.
I will return to the daughter's home, It's closer to school.
There is no place for me here.
He will have a difficult life.
Contrast color, texture,
collision form,
They take time to the drawing area.
Slower, Professor.
In each composition
Each part has overall awareness.
... having awareness of...
Please enter.
Julian!
WELCOME!
Sorry, we are finished today.
- Is this famous poet? - Yes.
How are you? Hanna Borowska.
Julian.
- Let me take that for you - Thank you very much.
I'm sorry, I ran out of coffee.
Wladyslaw...
Here it is
I know how much coffee you use.
Why don't I make coffee for you?
Thank you.
You have your loyal students,
who remembers about you
Young people always against the world.
Wladyslaw...
I say this with envy.
Even though for years your art has changed,
you are still alone
I write most of my poetry for drawers, they won't print it because & apos; it's too blurry & apos;
They praise people who suck.
They are silent about true artists.
I talk about this with Milosz.
He also believes that an artist cannot do it Speaking in full voice must be silent.
- These are calls & apos; Wave 49 & apos; - Artists can be killed in two ways:
good by talking too much or not at all.
Party is power
which has caused our country to get out of ruins and economic backwardness.
This is the backbone of and the brain of the nation.
The party has the power to make Such revolutionary changes in Poland
just because of that expression and organizer...
- Coffee. -... the purest will of millions.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
This is shown
with greater respect for the Party
- among independent people and even among people... - Let's drink.
... different form.
As before, When we don't need to whisper.
Many Poles may never study there are Marxist works
what the Party promised is always a reality
and what is the goal of the Party right.
- Professor... - Good afternoon.
Professor, can Roman come here?
Rome?
He waits below for your decision.
He feels like a traitor.
- They kick him out of school - For what?
He wrote his father was a janitor, But he was really a governor.
They even throw typewriter theft.
- did you not return it? - I did it, but you know how it is.
Hello Professor.
We have good news.
There is a job for you
At school
In PSS Co-op.
- But why is there? - Because they are looking for decorators.
And everywhere I ask they know... Cursing!
They know they might have problems with you. But your name doesn't mean anything.
I don't mean... that...
Well, I'll try.
As we agreed.
City Committees encourage us to hire veterans, even better, with disabilities.
- The authorities promote humanism. - So he's right.
He has missing arms and legs and he can handle paint brushes.
And he's the best in this business.
Right.
Where did you lose your arms and legs? During the War?
Yes.
But first.
Please sit down.
How will you do it? With only one hand?
I can present my work.
Roman has promised you
He said so some ideas about this work...
Right.
Well, I don't know...
What you don't know
- You seem to fit perfectly... - Exactly.
But... but if...
But what if... It's harder to fire an invalid one...
Fill this
At the payroll office you can get your food stamps and advances.
Just don't hang around in the office here...
Art is not meant to be decoration.
Art is meant to be an invention.
The process of accepting art is the process gather visual awareness.
Someone really only sees what he realizes,
but visual awareness does not develop automatically.
Have we got it?
- From vision... - Yes.
We don't accept our vision perfectly formed and unchanged.
Wait, wait!
It's here.
Our eyes are formed as a result from long biological evolution,
from a lower quality form for what it is now.
Excuse me.
Where can I find Mr. Strzeminski?
- And who is he? What is she doing here? - He's an artist.
- This is not a circus, there are no artists here. - He's a painter.
There, in the studio.
How did you find me?
Miss Hanka told me.
Does he have a key?
Why?
Students are working on my book there.
Will you wait for me?
- Where did you get it? - The school gave it to us...
I have to wear it for the parade.
But then I have to return it.
I go for get-togethers...
You know, Dad, I will carry the banner.
