Fahrenholy acted as Segan's official translator during the summer, esp in rural areas such as Nowy Sach and Stary Sach. He referred to Segan as dziadek, grandpa. Later, when Segan was Int'l Artist-in-Residence, Aberdeen Art Gallery, Scotland, '87, Segan was called gramps. (The age difference between 22 or 23 and 34 at those ages can be considerable).

Christian Iconography in Polish Contemporary Art
The Tradition of Christian Iconography in Polish Contemporary Art seems to be very strong and visible. Two Polish women artists, Magdalena Moskwa and Beata Ewa Białecka, have tried to inter-pret this tradition in their own ways. Magdalena Moskwa deals with the fleshness of the painting bee-ing inspired by St. Francis’ stigmata and Jesus Christ’s wounds as found in the poignant images of crucifixion and the Ecce Homo type of iconography. Beata Ewa Białecka, on the other hand, creates paintings inspired by images of Christian saints, trying in this way to connect this iconography with contemporary visual culture. - Prof. Marta Smolińska
Prof. Marta Smolińska (born 1975) is a Polish art historian, art critic and curator. From 2003-2014, she was an assistant professor at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń (Faculty of Modern and Contemporary Art). Since 2014, she is teaching as a professor at the University of Fine Arts in Poznań. Prof. Smolińska is a member of Polish Section of AICA.
She is the author of numerous publications and articles on modern and contemporary art, including four books 'The pulse of art (Poznań 2010)', 'Young Mehoffer (Kraków 2004)', 'Opening the painting. De(con)struction of universal seeing mechanisms in non-representational easel painting of the 2nd half of the 20th century. (Toruń 2012)' and 'Julian Stańczak.

Wernisaż: 29.6.2017, godz. 18

Kurator: Maria Anna Potocka

Miejsce: Galeria Beta, MOCAK
Jonasz Stern swoim życiem i twórczością odcisnął się na historii sztuki polskiej XX wieku. Przed wojną był członkiem I Grupy Krakowskiej, a w 1957 roku współzałożycielem II Grupy Krakowskiej, do której należeli między innymi Maria Jarema i Tadeusz Kantor. Były to dwie najważniejsze formacje artystyczne w Polsce.
Grupa przedwojenna eksperymentowała z formą i manifestowała swoje lewicowe poglądy. Większość jej członków należała do Komunistycznej Partii Polski. Jonasz Stern był za swe przekonania przetrzymywany w obozie dla więźniów politycznych w Berezie Kartuskiej.
Po wybuchu II wojny światowej Stern uciekł z Krakowa do Lwowa. Obrazy pozostawione w pracowni zaginęły. Z ważnych zachował się jedynie „Akt” z 1935 roku, znajdujący się w zbiorach Muzeum Narodowego w Krakowie. Po zajęciu Lwowa przez Niemców Jonasz Stern – jako Polak pochodzenia żydowskiego – został zamknięty w getcie. 1 czerwca 1943 roku znalazł się w grupie przeznaczonej na rozstrzelanie. Udało mu się uniknąć kuli i w nocy zbiec z miejsca egzekucji.
Dramatyczne doświadczenia wojenne odcisnęły piętno na jego myśleniu i sztuce. Ale nie było w nim cienia nienawiści czy goryczy. Stał się filozofem życia, przemijania i godności. W swoich asamblażach wyrażał to za pomocą prostych symboli: pomiętej tkaniny, szkieletów zwierząt, zwłaszcza ryb, piasku, kamieni, siatek i – wyjątkowo – fotografii. Dramatyzm jego obrazów jest całkowicie wolny od patosu. Stworzył świat abstrakcyjnych pejzaży pozostałych po świecie unicestwionym. Jednak te kompozycje nie są wyrazem rozpaczy za tym, co utracone. Jest w nich natomiast przesłanie dla żyjących, zobowiązujące do bardziej czujnego człowieczeństwa. Jonasz Stern ukazuje w swojej sztuce krajobraz po Zagładzie, którego potencjał estetyczny jest wyrazem nadziei na odrodzenie się wartości.

With his life and art, Jonasz Stern left a permanent mark on the Polish art of the 20th century. Before the war, he was a member of the first Grupa Krakowska (Krakow Group), and in 1957 he co founded Grupa Krakowska II, with members including Maria Jarema and Tadeusz Kantor. These were the two most significant artistic formations in Poland.
The pre war Group experimented with form and manifested its left wing stance, the majority of members affiliated to the Communist Party of Poland. For his political views, Jonasz Stern was imprisoned in the camp for political prisoners in Bereza Kartuska.
After the Second World War broke out, Stern fled Krakow for Lvov. The paintings that he had left behind in his studio disappeared. Of the significant ones, only “The Nude” from 1935 survived, now in the collection of the National Museum in Krakow. After the Germans occupied Lvov, Jonasz Stern, as a Pole with Jewish roots, was put in the ghetto. On 1 June 1943, he found himself in a group earmarked to be shot. He managed to escape the bullet and to flee the place of the execution under the cover of the night.
These dramatic wartime experiences took their toll on Stern’s outlook and his art. Yet there was not in him an ounce of hatred or bitterness. He became a philosopher, reflecting on life, its transience and dignity. In his assemblages, he expressed his thoughts using simple symbols: scrunched up fabric, animal – especially fish – bones, sand, stones, netting and – occasionally – photographs. The drama of his paintings is entirely devoid of pathos. Stern created a universe of abstract landscapes left by a world annihilated. These compositions do not, however, express despair for what has been lost. Rather they carry a message for the living, urging them to be more alert in their humanity. In his art, Jonasz Stern shows the world after the Holocaust – its aesthetic potential an expression of hope for a renaissance of human values.
The exhibition of Jonasz Stern accompanies Krakow Art Meetings 2017 – CONFIGURATIONS. Painting sculpture drawing
Jonasz Stern exhibition is presented in conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Polish avant-garde.

It is a unitary state divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312679 km2 with a mostly temperate climate. With a population of over 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest city is Warsaw. Other cities include Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin. The establishment of a Polish state can be traced back to 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of a territory roughly coextensive with that of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity.

SUMMARY
=======
Poland (Polish: Polska [ˈpɔlska] (listen)), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska [ʐɛt͡ʂpɔˈspɔlita ˈpɔlska] (listen)), is a country located in Central Europe. It is divided into 16 administrative subdivisions, covering an area of 312,696 square kilometres (120,733 sq mi), and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With a population of approximately 38.5 million people, Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union. Poland's capital and largest metropolis is Warsaw. Other major cities include Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk and Szczecin.
The establishment of the Polish state can be traced back to A.D. 966, when Mieszko I, ruler of the realm coextensive with the territory of present-day Poland, converted to Christianity. The Kingdom of Poland was founded in 1025, and in 1569 it cemented its longstanding political association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania by signing the Union of Lublin. This union formed the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, one of the largest (about 1 million km2) and most populous countries of 16th- and 17th-century Europe, with a uniquely liberal political system which adopted Europe's first written national constitution, the Constitution of 3 May 1791.
More than a century after the Partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century, Poland regained its independence in 1918 with the Treaty of Versailles. In September 1939, World War II started with the invasion of Poland by Germany, followed by the Soviet Union invading Poland in accordance with the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. More than six million Polish citizens perished in the war. In 1947, the Polish People's Republic was established as a satellite state under Soviet influence. In the aftermath of the Revolutions of 1989, most notably through the emergence of the Solidarity movement, the sovereign state of Poland reestablished itself as a presidential democratic republic.
Poland is a developed market and regional power. It has the eighth largest and one of the most dynamic economies in the European Union, simultaneously achieving a very high rank on the Human Development Index. Additionally, the Polish Stock Exchange in Warsaw is the largest and most important in Central Europe. Poland is a developed country, which maintains a high-income economy along with very high standards of living, life quality, safety, education and economic freedom. Poland has a developed school educational system. The country provides free university education, state-funded social security and a universal health care system for all citizens. Poland has 15 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 14 of which are cultural. Poland is a member state of the European Union, the Schengen Area, the United Nations, NATO, the OECD, the Three Seas Initiative, and the Visegrád Group.
