Join us at Good Company Books for the opening of the exhibition of PIO Kaliński’s linocuts!
About the exhibition
The project serves as an illustration for the book Heteronimy - utwory wybrane, edited by Wojciech Charchalis, which was published by LOKATOR in 2021 in Polish.
Many of the characters featured and described in this project are heteronyms invented by Pessoa in his early youth, if not in his childhood. The vast majority of them did not write much, but this is irrelevant, for whilst the megalomaniacal myth of the monstrously prolific poet may crumble, the truth remains of a brilliant poet whose three heteronyms created a humungous body of work.
All prints are 9x13 cm in size.
Linocut technique.
Monochrome prints, numbered 1–5. Signed.
Produced at Atelier PIO in Kraków in 2021.
