Wojciech Fangor (November 15, 1922 – October 25, 2015) was a world-renowned Polish painter, graphic artist, and sculptor. He remains celebrated as one of the most influential pioneers of postwar Op Art (Optical Art) and a master of spatial abstraction. Born in Warsaw, Fangor secretly trained under famous painters Tadeusz Pruszkowski and Felicjan Szczęsny Kowarski during the German occupation of Poland. He graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 1946. n the early 1950s, he initially aligned with state-mandated Socialist Realism, painting iconic works such as Figures (1950) and Korean Mother (1951). Concurrently, he became a co-founder of the highly influential Polish Poster School, utilizing dynamic graphic compositions and photo-collage elements for cultural and cinema advertisements. Disillusioned by traditional figurative styles, Fangor pivoted dramatically toward geometric abstraction. Alongside architect Stanisław Zamecznik, he created Studium Przestrzeni (Study of Space), which is widely recognized as Poland’s first environmental art installation. Through the late 1950s and 1960s, Fangor perfected his most iconic technique. By meticulously painting circles and waves with soft, blurred borders, he caused colors to visually bleed and expand into the viewer's physical field of vision. This optical illusion created an impression of light and motion pulsing straight off the canvas. Fangor emigrated from Poland in 1961, traveling through Europe before moving to the United States in 1966. His unique bridge between pure eye-tricks and the depth of Color Field painting caught the attention of Western curators. He was the only Polish artist included in MoMA’s landmark 1965 exhibition The Responsive Eye. In 1970, he became the first and only Polish artist to receive a monographic, solo exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. During his time in America, he taught at institutions including Fairleigh Dickinson University and Harvard University.

Poland's Sejm again passes a law letting the regulator block websites without a court

242 MPs backed the bill Nawrocki vetoed in January. The telecoms regulator UKE could order blocks; courts step in only on appeal. Next: the Senate.

If a tree falls in the woods and there is no sign to say beavers did it, does the forestry district have a liability problem? And is the Pope involved somehow?

📣Out now on #firstview!

Arkadiusz Borek (Polish Academy of Sciences) on 'Changes and Significance of Territorial Divisions in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the Eighteenth Century'

#Politics #Territory #Poland #Lithuania #History 18thc 🗃️

👉Open access: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

The territorial divisions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth were stable for most of its existence. They were characterized by dualism: in the Kingdom of Poland, territorial divisions and their connection to public institutions were organic; in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, these matters were strictly ordered. Changes appeared in the eighteenth century, when we can observe localized modifications in the network of territories, and during the Partitions period two systematic reforms were passed. The detailed analysis of such changes clearly shows that the ruling class of the Commonwealth was mainly interested in the political aspects of the territorial divisions: the distribution of prestige by the creation of new land offices connected to new territories, and the use of territorial units as constituencies. This second aspect was the main motivation behind the reforms after the First and Second Partitions. The political and election-focused approach to the system of territorial divisions highlights the difference between the Commonwealth and major European states in this period.
