Zygmunt Badowski (Poland, Warszawa, 1875-1959) - „Wyśniony Sen” (The Dream about Poland) - 1918, oil on canvas

Obraz ten jest niezwykle detaliczny, nie udało mi się zrobić ładnego zdjęcia więc kradnę z FB. Na pierwszym planie widzimy młodego emigranta, który śni o odradzającej się ojczyźnie. Biała postać spętana w samym centrum obrazu, Polska, jest rozbierana przez czerwoną śmierć. Unosi ona głowę spoglądając na stojącą nad nią Maryję z Jezusem wzrokiem wyrażającym błaganie i nadzieję na ratunek. Wokół patrzy na nią tłum osobistości: po lewej stronie widzimy generałów państw zaborczych, po środku rząd polskich władców w kolejności chronologicznej, a po prawej stoją polscy uczeni, intelektualiści i artyści (tacy jak Jan Matejko, Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki, Fryderyk Chopin).

This painting is extremely detailed, I couldn't take a good photo so I stole it from FB. In the foreground we can see a young emigrant who's dreaming about Poland, his homeland. White figure shackled in the very center, Poland, is being undressed by red figure - death. She's raising her head looking at Mary with Jesus who stand over her, her gaze seems to be hopefull, begging for the rescue. Behind this scene we see a crowd of people observing what's happening: on the left are the generals of the partitioning countries, in the middle a row of Polish rulers in chronological order, and on the right Polish scientists, intellectuals and artists (such as Jan Matejko, Adam Mickiewicz, Juliusz Słowacki, Fryderyk Chopin).

Bardzo ciekawie czyta się o Zbigniewie Badowskim tutaj w Przewodniku Wystawy Jubileuszowej jego prac z roku 1931, gdyż są to jego własne słowa (jest to pdf więc w zależności od przeglądarki może wam się zacząć pobierać zamiast włączyć w nowej karcie nwm):

OTD in Music History: Important 20th Century pianist-composer Karol Szymanowski (1882 - 1937) – hailed in some circles as the greatest Polish composer after Frederic Chopin (1810 – 1849) – dies of tuberculosis at a sanitarium in Lausanne, Switzerland. A member of the “Young Poland” modernist movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century, Szymanowski's early works owe a clear debt to the late-Romantic German school (i.e., Richard Wagner [1813 - 1883], Richard Strauss [1864 - 1949], and Max Reger [1873 - 1916]) as well as eccentric Russian "mystic" pianist-composer Alexander Scriabin (1871 - 1915). Later on, however, Szymanowski developed an increasingly personal style which blended elements of free atonality / polytonality, French “Impressionism” (drawing from the work of Claude Debussy [1862 - 1918] and Maurice Ravel [1875 - 1937]), and Polish folk music. Indeed, to that last point, the establishment of an independent Polish state in 1918 inspired Szymanowski to consciously seek to forge a distinctly “Polish” style of “classical” composition – a daunting task that hadn’t been seriously attempted by any major composer since Chopin. Polish musicologist Aleksander Laskowski has opined that Szymanowski "ultimately succeeded in his goal of inventing a musical language all his own [...] His works were true and ingenious creations, and his oeuvre shows an incredible development from the Straussian and Wagnerian aesthetic, through an interesting and very romantic 'Oriental' period, and finishing with a nationalist period.” PICTURED: A publicity headshot of the middle-aged Szymanowski (photographed by the famous “Fayer of Vienna” atelier), which he signed and inscribed to a fan in 1931. Szymanowski has also written out a few measures from the opening of his folk-music-infused ballet “Harnasie," which was not publicly premiered until 1935. Autograph material from Szymanowski is exceedingly rare.

i installed open video downloader, a FLOSS utility for ripping youtube videos, which is such an easy to use & convenient program, & it reminded me of the campaign i went on (completely unsuccessfully) a couple years ago to get clickless mouse added to the patron computers in my public library, because i had watched multiple older adults struggle immensely to double-click on our computers, went looking for an easy solution for them, & found that someone had already thoughtfully written an elegant & adaptable little program, initially intended as an accessibility tool for a particular friend of theirs. this is why i love FLOSS projects so much: they're usually personal passion projects, at least at the outset, & they reflect such powerfully pro-social values that even when they have nothing to offer me in particular i am delighted by them. thank u to all FLOSS devs <3

OTD in Music History: Important 20th Century pianist-composer Karol Szymanowski (1882 - 1937) – hailed in some circles as the greatest Polish composer after Frederic Chopin (1810 – 1849) – dies of tuberculosis (just like Chopin), in Switzerland.

A member of the “Young Poland” modernist movement that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century, Szymanowski's early works owe a clear debt to the late-Romantic German school (Richard Wagner [1813 - 1883], Richard Strauss [1864 - 1949], and Max Reger [1873 - 1916]) as well as the eccentric Russian "mystic" pianist-composer Alexander Scriabin (1871 - 1915).

Indeed, to that last point, the establishment of an independent Polish state in 1918 inspired Szymanowski to consciously seek to forge a distinctly “Polish” style of composition – a daunting task that hadn’t been seriously attempted by any major composer since Chopin himself, nearly a century earlier.

Polish musicologist Aleksander Laskowski has opined that Szymanowski "succeeded in his goal of inventing a musical language all his own[...] His works were true and ingenious creations, and his oeuvre shows an incredible development from the Straussian and Wagnerian aesthetic, through an interesting and very romantic 'Oriental' period, and finishing with a nationalist period.”
