9788376291307: The Lebenstein Code: Poland During the Twentieth Century Along the Traces of Drawings by Jan Lebenstein

Synopsis

The biography and oeuvre of Jan Lebenstein are closely interwoven with the history of Poland in the twentieth century. The artist's life is one of the thousand of Polish biographies whose comprehension is outright impossible without a closer acquaintance with recent history.

"Many Polish artists — Jews and non-Jews — came out of the world Lebenstein came from. He was born in Brest-Litovsk; many others grew up in the border-lands, the eastern marches of Poland, territories that were (at best) temporarily Polish and (in bad times) overrun by war, rebellion, nationalisms and other evil fates. For most, the scars – of war, occupation, imprisonment, annihilation – were permanent. Exile was the result. Lebenstein, too, became an exile: but in a country of one." (K.B., News from the Republic of Letters)
