Jewish motifs in the postwar art of visual artists connected with Lublin and the Lublin region in the context of the discourse in Poland
Monika Tarajko
Abstract
The article is an attempt to answer the question of how the post-war visual artists connected with Lublin and its region referred to the subject of Jews and the Holocaust. The scale of interest in the subject in Lublin and the choice of artistic means have been related to a broader, national context and to canonical works created in the country from the 1940s to the present day. The author analyzes the work of Lublin artists in the first years after the Second World War, examines the development of the exhibition activity of the State Museum at Majdanek and reviews works devoted to Jews presented in Lublin in the years 2000-2020. She also juxtaposes the activity of local communities with the work of artists of Jewish origin who continued their activity after the Holocaust abroad.
