Originally for family and friends only, the panorama was more recently shown in Panoramania (Barbican art gallery London 1988), and in Sehsucht (Kunst und Ausstellungshalle Bonn 1993). Painted in watercolor on paper with backlit effects of a mirage, stars and a rainbow, it is 53 meters long, and has been lodged at the Museum of London since 1983.

  • Peasant Identity and Class Relations in the Art of Stanisław Wyspiański*
    28 PEASANT IDENTITY AND CLASS RELATIONS Peasant Identity and Class Relations in the Art of Stanisław Wyspiański* by Weronika Malek-Lubawski Stanisław Wyspiański (1869–1907) was a painter, playwright, and leader of the Young Poland movement of artists who merged the national tradition of history painting with Symbolist visions and elements of Art Nouveau.1 He frequently tackled the theme of Polish class relations in his works, and he was so appreciated during his lifetime that the funeral after his premature death from syphilis turned into a national memorial parade.2 Wyspiańs- ki’s reputation persists into the twenty-first century in Poland, where high school students read his famous drama Wesele [The Wedding] (1901) as part of their general education curriculum, but he is not widely known outside his home country.3 This essay examines The Wedding and Wyspiański’s pastel, Self-Portrait with the Artist’s Wife (1904), in relation to nineteenth-cen- tury Polish sociohistorical discourse on class identity and Wyspiański’s own interclass marriage (Fig. 1). Inspired by the real-life nuptials of Wyspiański’s acquaintance, The Wedding narrates the union of an upper-class poet and a peasant woman in a ceremony that later becomes the stage for supernatu- ral events and patriotic ambitions. Self-Portrait with the Artist’s Wife depicts Wyspiański, an upper-class member of the intelligentsia, and his spouse, a peasant and former domestic servant, wearing costumes that deliberately confuse their class identities. One of Wyspiański's best-known works, it is also his only double portrait in which the artist himself appears.

  • Jan Styka Jako Ilustrator Dzieł Henryka Sienkiewicza
    Małgorzata Gorzelak Jan Styka jako ilustrator dzieł Henryka Sienkiewicza Rocznik Muzeum Narodowego w Kielcach 23, 347-368 2007 Rocznik Muzeum Narodowego w Kielcach Tom 23, Kielce 2007 MAŁGORZATA GORZELAK JAN STYKA JAKO ILUSTRATOR DZIEŁ HENRYKA SIENKIEWICZA Jan Styka jako pierwszy z artystów polskich zilustrował pełny tekst Quo vadis Henryka Sienkiewicza, a jego twórczość związana z tą powieścią była szczególnie obfita. W ciągu wielu lat pracy artysta wykonał ponad 200 rysun­ ków i malowideł en grisaille (do wydawnictwa Flammariona) oraz kilkanaście barwnych obrazów olejnych. Do kręgu zbliżonych tematycznie przedstawień należy także jego panorama Męczeństwo chrześcijan w cyrku Nerona oraz ilu­ stracje do noweli Pójdźmy za Nim! Jan Styka (1858-1925) malował obrazy historyczne, religijne, portrety i sceny batalistyczne. Najbardziej znany był jako twórca ogromnych rozmiarów panoram historycznych i religijnych. Artysta urodził się we Lwowie. Od 1877 roku studio­ wał w wiedeńskiej Akademii Sztuk Pięknych, a następnie (w latach 1882-1885) w krakowskiej Szkole Sztuk Pięknych. Według wspomnień Styki, stosunek, jaki łączył go wówczas z Matejką był nieco odmienny od tego, w jakim zwykle uczniowie szkoły krakowskiej z nim pozostawali. Ja już byłem malarzem, który ukończył Akademię i Meisterschule wiedeńską, który miał Rzym za sobą i szereg płócien. Dlatego Matejko mi nigdy zdania swego nie narzucał, ale raczej w koleżeński sposób dawał rady (...) Przez czas pobytu mego u Matejki nie miałem żadnej walki o byt. Matejko dawał mi stypendia, pożyczał kostiumy, makaty, gobeliny1. Jednocześnie Matejko był dla Styki ogromnym autorytetem: Zdawało mi się zawsze, że nad nim wisiała korona Króla Ducha, że w tej epoce jest on pomazańcem narodu. Czułem majestat jego i szczęśliwy byłem będąc przy nim2.

  • A 'Proper Point of View'
    A ‘Proper Point of View’: the panorama and some of its early media iterations Early Popular Visual Culture, 9:3, 225-238 (2011) William Uricchio MIT & Utrecht University Abstract: The panorama entered the world not as a visual format but as a claim: to lure viewers into seeing in a particular way. Robert Barker’s 1781 patent for a 360-degree painting emphasized the construction of a ‘proper point of view’ as a means of making the viewer ‘feel as if really on the spot.’ This situating strategy would, over the following centuries, take many forms, both within the world of the painted panorama and its photographic, magic lantern, and cinematic counterparts. This essay charts some of the unexpected twists and turns of this strategy, exploring among others the moving panorama (both as a parallel development to the cinematic moving picture and as deployed by the film medium as a background to suggest movement) and the relations between the spatial promise of the late 19th century stereoscope and that most populous of early motion picture titles, the panorama. The essay focuses on changing technologies and strategies for achieving Barker’s initial goals, while attending to the implications for the viewer. Drawing from the observations of scholars as diverse as Bentham, Foucault, and Crary, the essay uses the various iterations of the panorama to explore the implications of a particularly rich strand of technologies of seeing. William Uricchio is professor and director of Comparative Media Studies at MIT and professor of Comparative Media History at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. 1 A ‘Proper Point of View’: the panorama and some of its early media iterations1 Early Popular Visual Culture, 9:3, 225-238 (2011) http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17460654.2011.601165 William Uricchio MIT & Utrecht University 'I don't have eyes in the back of my head….' is a well known expression.

It’s no wonder given that the media often refers to Auschwitz as a “Polish concentration camp,” which is a rewrite of history. That is why I posted a petition on The Kosciuszko Foundation website asking newspapers to change their style guides to avoid using this historically erroneous phrase. It confuses undereducated readers, leading them to believe that the Holocaust was executed by Poland, rather than Nazi Germany. My sincerest thanks to all of you who signed the petition.

  • Susan Boardman -- on -- Gettysburg Cyclorama
    Susan Boardman -- On -- Gettysburg Cyclorama The Civil War Roundtable of Chicago March 11, 2011, Chicago, Illinois by: Bruce Allardice ―What is a cyclorama?‖ is a frequent question heard in the visitor center at Gettysburg. In 1884, painter Paul Philippoteaux took brush to canvas to create an experience of gigantic proportion. On a 377-foot painting in the round, he recreated Pickett‘s Charge, the peak of fighting at the Battle of Gettysburg. Four versions were painted, two of which are among the last surviving cycloramas in the United States. When it was first displayed, the Gettysburg Cyclorama painting was so emotionally stirring that grown men openly wept. This was state-of- the-art entertainment for its time, likened to a modern IMAX theater. Today, restored to its original glory, the six ton behemoth is on display at the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center. On March 11, Sue Boardman will describe the genre of cycloramas in general and the American paintings in particular: Why they were made, who made them and how. She will then focus on the Gettysburg cycloramas with specific attention to the very first Chicago version and the one currently on display at the Gettysburg National Military Park (made for Boston). Sue Boardman, a Gettysburg Licensed Battlefield Guide since 2000, is a two-time recipient of the Superintendent‘s Award for Excellence in Guiding. Sue is a recognized expert of not only the Battle of Gettysburg but also the National Park‘s early history including the National Cemetery. Beginning in 2004, Sue served as historical consultant for the Gettysburg Foundation for the new museum project as well as for the massive project to conserve and restore the Gettysburg cyclorama.

There was lit- tle in Chicago in those days to tempt the missionary or discoverer to rest from his labors ; there was still less which gave promise of the great city which should one day gather to itself the peoples of the Old World to build there their fortunes and their homes.
