Maria Komornicka - Literature in the shadow of biography?

Maria Komornicka poljska je autorica koja počinje stvarati u razdoblju Mlade Poljske, odnosno modernizma. Napisala je niz programskih članaka i umjetničkih djela, no zbog svoje je biografije većinom bila smještena na marginu poljske književnosti. Biografiju su joj obilježili skandali: neslaganje s ocem, bliski odnosi sa starijim muškim suradnicima, propao brak ispunjen opasnim ljubomornim ispadima supruga, znakovi psihičke bolesti i nestabilnosti, odbacivanje ženskog spola i imena, a prihvaćanje muškog spola i imena PiotrWłast. Iz njezinih programskih tekstova proizlazi da je umjetnike smatrala posebnim tipom ljudi, točnije prijelaznim, a umjetnost je, za nju, sama sebi svrhom. Pisala je prozna i poetska umjetnička djela u skladu s dominantnom modernističkom poetikom. Među proznim se djelima ističu njezine bajke O ocu i kćeri i Andronice u kojima se poigrava s bajkom kao književnom vrstom, ali i konstruira zanimljive muško- ženske odnose među likovima. Pojedini motivi iz bajki i biografski motivi iz njezina života mogli bi se povezati.Maria Komornicka was polish author in period of Young Poland (modernism). Although she wrote articles in which poetry and characteristics of Young Poland have been explained and plenty artworks, because of her biography she was placed on the margine of polish literature. Her biography was marked with scandals: constantly disagreement with her father, failed marriage fulfilled with jealous excesses of her husband, signs of mental illness, female sex and gender rejection, accepting of a male sex, gender and name Piotr Włast. She considered artists for special transition type of people and art, according to her, exist because of it herself. Komornicka was writing prose and poetry typical for modernism. In About father and daughter and Andronice she is questioning fairy tail as a literary genre and constructing interesting relationship between male and female characters.
