„Znakomity malarz i ożywiony najlepszymi chęciami obywatel”. Maurycy Gottlieb w oczach prasy polskiej (1877-1880)

The paper aims at reconstructing the image of Maurycy Gottlieb created in the Polish press during the artist’s lifetime and immediately following his death. It is based on all the texts (from exhibition reviews, through obituaries and posthumous tributes) traceable in periodicals and dailies published in the three partition zones (in Warsaw, Lvov, Cracow, Poznań), which has allowed to present the whole abundance and variety of perspectives, both on Gottlieb’s art, and on him as a person.
