Przestrzeń zgeometryzowana krajobrazu

The paper discusses methods of interpretation of landscape in painting, by means of geometric abstraction, and the enrichment of the seeing and understanding of space. The stained glass Great Pastoral Scene in the Winter School of Agriculture in Drachten, Holland (1921-1922), by Theo van Doesburg is here described. This is an unusual work for the avant garde, by the evident relation to the recent past of art (the picture The Sower, 1889-1890, by van Gogh), and by the expression of the universalistic tendencies of De Stijl by relation to the traditional motif of the seasonal changes of nature. There is also shown the impact of the idea of this artwork, which is taken from the surrounding architectural and urban space. The second area of interest is the cycle of oil paintings Sky and Earth by Leszek Misiak, created in the times when the ideas of abstract art have passed, nevertheless abstract style still marks the art, the things of everyday life, and through this it still determines our ways of seeing the contemporary world, dominating conventions. The creative use of these conventions, enriching it by the individually shaped nets of meanings - this is still potentially a fruitful area for creativity and innovations. These impulses and experiences could be also used effectively in the designing and shaping of the landscape.
