100 years of Polish comics - a lecture

100 years of Polish comics

Lecturer: Joanna Birek

. 

Polish comic books, though largely unknown abroad, have a long tradition. In 2019 they will be celebrating their 100th anniversary. Though the date is symbolic, as a factual date of "first Polish comic book" publication remains as a part of many scholarly disputes and speculations, it is certain the tradition of sequential visual art has deep roots in Poland. Through its history, it was engulfed in politics, entertainement, comedy, a fight for artistic independence and troubling times of the market's collapse while taking inspiration from Francophone, American and Japanese comics after opening itself to the foreign market. The lecture will showcase the history of Polish comic art, as well as outline its most important styles and genres and  influences that shaped its modern form.

　　波兰漫画的一百年

　　讲座人：尤安娜·比瑞克Joanna Birek

波兰漫画尽管在国外并不为人所知，但却有着悠久的传统。2019年，将迎来波兰漫画的100周年纪念日。虽然这个日期是人为约定的 — “第一部波兰漫画”创作的实际时间仍然是众多科学争议的其中一个 — 但可以肯定地说，视觉连续故事的艺术在波兰有着深厚的根源。其发展受到诸如政治、幽默、娱乐、艺术独立斗争和体制转型后市场失灵困难时期、以及在对外国出版物开放后从法语、美国和日本漫画书中吸取的灵感等各种因素的影响。讲座将介绍波兰漫画艺术的历史，并介绍其最重要的并由此塑造了漫画艺术的当代形式的风格、流派和所受影响。

From children's comics to experimental forms. Modern Polish comic artists

Speakers: Marcin Podolec, Berenika Kolomycka, Przemyslaw Truscinski, Piotr Nowacki, Tomasz Lesniak. 

Moderation: Joanna Birek

Polish artists display a wide variety of styles, genres and techniques when working on their comics. Berenika Kolomycka, currently focused on her children's comic "Tiny Fox and a Giant Boar" uses traditional watercolour to create colourful, soft images. Marcin Podolec - an artist, whose work was published internationally - draws digital, cartoonish and simplyfied characters full of expression. Przemek "Trust" Truscinski, one of the best graphic artists in Poland, has worked on many experimental projects using every graphic technique imaginable to tell stories full of metaphysics and dark humour. Tomasz Lesniak has created iconic characters of Gerry the Hog, an animalistic hero living in the modern Polish society, and Tymek and Master - Merlin-like wizard teaching a boy about the ways of magic. Piotr Nowacki's cartoon comics for young children are highly regarded both by parents and critics in comics and literature world. The artists will present their styles and techniques, explaining their creative process and their artistic goals.
