Jej Miriam. Wilhelminy Zyndram-Kościałkowskiej refleksja nad koncepcją sztuki i kultury Zenona Przesmyckiego

Abstrakt

The article attempts to present the stages of Wilhelmina Zyndram-Kościałkowska’s approach to reflection on Miriam’s understanding of aesthetic and artistic principles. A critical diagnosis related to the understanding of art and culture by Zenon Przesmycki is possible due to observation of Kościałkowska’s holistic reflection on the concept of culture and modernist literature (including the essence of translation, the meaning of modernist art, drama specificity and the concept of “art for art”) contained in manuscript intimist collections. The analysis includes diaries, notes, “extracts” from life and people, calendars kept throughout the life of the Grodno writer deposited in the Lithuanian State Historical Archives in Vilnius. The method of examination and the nature of the approach are defined by the author of the article as a coffin portrait.
