POST SCRIPTUM English__ Feb 2021

Dear Readers,
Unfortunately, we are still pandemically confused and frustrated,
we glide through life without mindfulness or deliberation. Living in
a fast--paced world, focused on trivial things, and we too often forget
about our soul. In a world where pop culture (and often subculture) has
dominated higher culture. The pandemic made us see this shallowness
and insignificance of the rat race. We stand stunned because someone
has taken away the treadmill on which we were racing, trotting in place.
In this strange world, it is Art that allows us to survive. A good film,
or book, an extraordinary painting, or poem. How badly we need it now!
However, here we have another issue of English version of Post Scriptum
to give you an artistic break during these difficult times. I am sure you
will find a host of inspiring art gems in here. Trying to maintain a general
artistic character, we present you diverse material, in line with the
principle of “something good for everyone”.
What is Orapism? How many photographic techniques are there to
taking an artistic photo? What is Łozowsko Wielkie? Why a square?
And how can you give a second life to damaged books? We answer
these questions and more in the following pages. Our special guest in
this issue is the great Russian painter – Irene Sheri Vishnevskaya. Her
p a i nti n gs are excepti o n al , an d h er l i fe p roves th at any th i n g i s p o s s i b l e.
I am also fascinated by a very interesting article by prof Izolda Kiec about
the legend of the Warsaw Bohemia of the interwar period – the Polish/
Jewish poet Zuzanna Ginczanka.
And as always – the articles are interspersed with lots of original poetry.
We wish you a wonderful artistic journey through our magazine.
Renata Cygan
Editor-in-Chief
