Abstract

For Wróblewski, Aragon – whose famous cry “I hear you, voices of the killed” is derived from the poem entitled “Autumn Night” – has become a figure of comparable imagination. This article juxtaposes Andrzej Wróblewski’s art with the work of Louis Aragon, a French poet and novelist, making it possible to recognise their shared poetics of war. In fact, both of them perceived language as a device shaping social imagery, searched for new forms of artistic expression,
used metaphors and allegories extensively, and fought for a new and peaceful dimension of art.
