Polska jako wartość i marginesy transcendencji w sztuce współczesnej. Rozważania na kanwie myśli Władysława Stróżewskiego i obserwacji Grzegorza Sztabińskiego

The text introduces selected elements of Władysław Stróżewski's philosophy regarding the nation and art, emphasizing in this context the role of quality and the importance of values, as well as the metaphysicality of art and metaphysicality in art. The introduction of the concept of transcendentals later leads to the suggestion that art can show how these basic values become Polish. The aesthetic theory is extended by Grzegorz Sztabiński's observations on contemporary art. A discussion follows of the concepts of "margins of transcendence", its equivalents, observations of its possible experience, the active experience of artists and the sacralization of art, as well as the "skin of transcendence". These proposals, treated as ways of finding the metaphysicality of art and the metaphysicality in art, are applied to artistic examples. The works of Artur Żmijewski, Jerzy Bereś, Piotr Uklański, Jakub Woynarowski, Jakub Skoczek, and Jerzy Kalina are analyzed and interpreted. The conclusion includes a reflection on the expansion of the "margins of transcendence" appropriate to contemporary Polish art and the place of metaphysicality in it.
