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.
