Nowe perspektywy badań nad dorobkiem artystycznym Franciszki i Stefana Themersonów. Przypadek twórczości filmowej

Franciszka and Stefan Themerson’s achievements are becoming increasingly popular among Polish researchers. Although the artistic work of ‘Drobiazg melodyjny’ authors inspired the appearance of an extensive academic literature, also for the general public, it seems that the Themersons remain artists who are not studied in depth and that many research topics connected with them have not yet been discovered. What lies behind this situation is not only versatility of their interests and an extensive output, but also a distant location of the archive they left, whose major part remained in Great Britain until the end of 2014. The article concerns new research perspectives, especially those connected with film output, which arose when almost whole Themersons’ legacy was brought to Poland. Undoubtedly the presence of the archive in our native country will enable the analysis of so far either unknown or no well researched areas of life and activity of the extraordinary tandem.
