• Title:
  FRENCH LIGHT, LITHUANIAN LAND—THE PAINTINGS OF JOANNA WIERUSZ- -KOWALSKA-TUROWSKA
• Creator:
  Sienkiewicz, Jan Wiktor
• Description:
  The paper is an attempt to undertake a new approach towards the paintings of Joanna Wierusz- -Kowalska, born in 1930 in Vilnius, who lived in France until her death in 2005. Her creative output—despite earlier attempts to characterize it—remains mostly unknown in Poland. The author is trying to show the way in which the experiences she gained at home, full of respect towards all kinds of art, especially fine arts, music and literature, connected with the unsullied nature and wildlife in the Vilnius region surrounding her in her youth, influenced her visions. Through the years of her work in a Parisian studio, Wierusz-Kowalska, just as many other painters creating in the capital of France in the 20th century, though originating from the Eastern Borderlands has proved, how a plastic creation may contain cultural codes originating from two diverse experiences and traditions.
