Maciej T. KOCIUBA – Ryszard Horowitz’s Photo-Compositions: The Image as a Holistic Structure

DOI 10.12887/32-2019-2-126-10

 

The article comprises an interpretation of Ryszard Horowitz’s photographic works. The author puts forward the thesis that Horowitz’s dreamscapes embrace complex structures which generate organic entities. His photographs are usually composed of deliberately juxtaposed visual elements. However, the appeal of these works cannot be reduced to their visual aspect, but it results from the complex pictorial and semantic relations obtaining among their component parts. Throughout his interpretation of Horowitz’s images, the author uses his holistic method of interpretation which consists in demonstrating how a polyiconic (multielemental) composition  becomes an organic entity. The hermeneutic of Horowitz’s artworks ultimately enables a reconstruction of the rational core of his output, as well as that of the system of central categories and meanings the artist applies.
