 abstract={Julian Tuwim’s Słopiewnie (1921), a cycle of poems characterized by their blurred semantics, spawned a number of transpositions in the art of the Polish avant-garde, most notably Karol Szymanowski’s Songs (Słopiewnie, Op. 46 bis ego, 1921) and their visual interpretation in The Eye and the Ear (1945), a short film by Stefan and Franciszka Themerson. Szymanowski transposed Tuwim’s euphonic evocation of rural and primitive archaic moods into a series of musical compositions, which caught the attention of the Themersons, who had a great interest in Szymanowski’s modernist pursuits. They created a striking visual representation of the Songs, a distant echo of the notational experiments of the medieval eye music (ars subtilior). The three works are linked not only by their avant-garde poetics, but also by personal filiations that can be traced in Stefan Themerson’s diaries and in the correspondence of Julian Tuwim and Karol Szymanowski.},
