On Mother and Fatherland
ISBN: 9781941196526 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. [W]e may regard this as the Polish version of Art Spiegelman’s Maus—in its form, an excellent and utterly unexpected version. Such a comparison is not about imitation, nor about formal similarity, but about something essential for both authors: the child-artist’s struggle with the historical experience represented by the parent. A struggle for one’s own identity, for the right to one’s own life, for a way out of the mausoleum of the Holocaust. A struggle played out in the arena of art. —Przemysław Czapliński...
