Nieznane ilustracje Brunona Schulza do zeszytów z nutami

Abstract

In the paper, the author presents the results of her research on the origins of two illustrations credited to Bruno Schulz. Illustrations decorate the covers of two different tango sheet music books from the 1930s – „Dziewczę me, wspomnij noc. Tango” („Oh Girl, Remember the Night. Tango”) and „Biały motyl” („White Butterfly”). One of the covers was found on a vintage auction, while the other remains only in the memory of the last owner and inheritor of the songwriter. The author interviews the last owner of the books, reconstructing the story of Schulz’s friendship with musicians and the history of lost illustrations.
