Wajda's last movie - about Polish artist

[Jaga]

Just today I almost stumbled about info related to the last movie by Andrej Wajda about Strzeminski and his wife Kobro. Both were amazing artists from the new school, who went and did not survive Stalin's time.
Strzeminski became an artist after being injured as a soldier. He lost his leg, arm and eye... he and Kobro, originally of Russian-German origin have love-hate relationship. Their daughter had to grow in the orphanage.
Linda versus Strzeminski in film "Powidoki" ( after image - a name of the most important work of Strzeminski)

Below is a trailer with English subtitles. It is really sad to see how an artist tried to fight against communistic system with its propaganda:


Here is interview with ENglish subtitles with Linda, known Polish actor playing Strzeminski in the film:

Władysław Strzemiński (Belarusian: Уладыслаў Страмінскі; 21 November 1893, Minsk – 28 December 1952, Łódź) was a Polish avant-garde painter of international renown.
In 1922 he moved to Wilno, and in the following year supported Vytautas Kairiūkštis in creating the first avant-garde art exhibition in Lithuania (then under Polish rule).[1]
In November 1923 he moved to Warsaw, where with Henryk Berlewi he founded the constructivist group Blok.
During the 1920s he formulated his theory of Unism (Unizm in Polish). His Unistic paintings inspired the unistic musical compositions of the Polish composer Zygmunt Krauze. He is an author of a revolutionary book titled "The theory of vision." He was co creator of unique avant-garde art collection in Lodz gathered thanks to the enthusiasm of members of the “a.r.” group as Katarzyna Kobro, Henryk Stażewski (the artists) and Julian Przyboś and Jan Brzękowski (the poets).[2]
