Jerzy Wójcik – estetyka światła

The article shows the creative way of Jerzy Wójcik, from his first artistic trials to the beginning of his career as a cameraman with Andrzej Munk, Andrzej Wajda and Jerzy Kawalerowicz, to his late films made together with Stanisław Różewicz. Particularly significant are the “changes of light”, the key to understanding the art of Wójcik’s films. They are examined one by one in reference to such issues as the depth system, the aesthetics of black-and-white and grey, the art of the icon and the blue hour.
