MAŁGORZATA KITOWSKA-ŁYSIAK
Kamieński’s washed drawings correspond with the iiterary text. The artist transformed some
features of the academie manner, so as to expose the reality of Siberia, such as landscape,
people and objeets. He was most fascinated with the spécifie atmosphère of Siberian life. That
is why the motif of nostalgia after his homeland and a melancholie consent of the exiles to
their hardship is the main atmosphère of the majority of paintings. Simple artistic means that
Kamiński uses serve to stress this aura. He gave up création on behalf of faithfulness to the
Iiterary original.
