{"product_id":"18189-wilhelm-sasnal","title":"Wilhelm Sasnal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe art of Polish painter Wilhelm Sasnal, born in 1972, offers an entirely new and unfamiliar perspective on the meaning of images of day-to-day reality. His paintings reflect both fascination with the easy availability of visual images and a sense of skeptical concern. They represent an artist\u0026#39;s approach to painting, film, and media that does not exhaust itself in personal mythology. Sasnal\u0026#39;s own existential fears, the revival of discussion regarding Poland\u0026#39;s role during the Holocaust, and other developments in Polish society are addressed directly or indirectly in his works. The book presents the first comprehensive review of Sasnal\u0026#39;s paintings and places it within the broader context of his reflections on art and music. The artist uses sources from Soviet photography, including works by Rodchenko; makes reference to a Polish children\u0026#39;s book; defamiliarizes Art Spiegelmann\u0026#39;s comic MAUS; and works from concert photographs of such music groups as Sonic Youth and Einstürzende Neubauten.
