Józef Czapski is a well-known -- yet not very profoundly -- figure in Poland. His account of imprisonment in Soviet camps and his wartime search for the twenty thousand murdered comrades, collected in "Inhuman Land" and "Memories from Starobielsk" (both forthcoming from NYRB), from banned books have gained the status of required reading. Yet Czapski was much more than a survivor. Like Proust, whose writings became his life companion, Czapski was above all an artist of great sensibility, registering with keen perceptiveness minute changes in the quality of light that fell across objects as well as fine expressions of human face and body that often speak to their true feelings or hidden motives. Trained to be a painter in Paris between the wars, Czapski was thrust into history against his will, but never recoiled before the encounter. The first uniform he wore was that of Tsar's guards. Then he fought on the Polish side in 1920 against the Bolsheviks. In 1939 he joined the Polish army again, as an officer, with the intention to fight the Germans, but instead found himself facing a surprise attack of the Soviets on the Eastern front, near Lvov. Captured, along with thousands of others, he was among the 395 (and just over seventy from his camp) who survived the Katyn massacre. The disappearance of these tens of thousands Polish officers, Czapski's comrades, was not known until Germany had attacked Russia and, in desperate need of fighting forces, Stalin issued an "amnesty" to Poles caught in the enormous web of Soviet gulags. A river of migrants -- both soldiers and civilians -- flowed to the banks of the Caspian sea where General Anders was gathering his army. The breadth of Karpeles's historical research is impressive, but perhaps more importantly, an artist himself, he is able to present his subject with great feeling, yet without unnecessary sentimentalism. The pages describing Czapski's search, in 1942, for the missing officers are probably among the most moving in the book: even while we know the outcome of that search, we cannot help but be swept by the slightest hope that Czapski might be successful. As a historian, Karpeles has a well-honed sense of the present moment: that is, of that moment in the past as experienced by those who lived it, knowing what they knew and what was unavailable to them at the time. He is also closely tuned in to the changes in historical perception: for example, something that might come as a shock, the early and staunch support for Stalin in the West -- to the point that anything critical of his regime was immediately censored (e.g. on his early fundraising trip to America to gather support for the emigrant cultural/political publication "Kultura" in Paris, Czapski was explicitly forbidden from mentioning Katyn; similarly, in France, copies of his "Souvenirs de Starobielsk," published with the support of de Gaulle and other well-placed figures, against the popular communist condemnation, were being bought out by the French Communist Party and burned...). At times, Karpeles's book reads like a political/historical thriller. At others, Karpeles taps into the shared fascination with Proust whose work and life provide a canvas against which Czapski's own development and sensibility come into focus. As a painter, Karpeles can be critical of Czapski's creative output and able to appreciate both his failures and the moments of brilliance and inspiration obtained in Czapski's dogged pursuit of his craft. For a figure like Czapski, an artist, a diarist and a writer on topics as varied as history, painting, literature, politics, a self-professed Polish patriot and a lover of Polish culture, yet critical of narrowly conceived "patriotism" and opposed to any form of calcified nationalism or Catholicism (dominant in the country then as it is now!), at home in French as in Polish, Russian, and German (German was the language of tenderness between him and his mother), it is a great stroke of luck, or maybe fate, to have a biographer who is equally sensible to nuance, discerning in politics, and capable of navigating often hostile waters. Czapski's story is thus also interwoven with, no less fascinating, narrative of Karpeles's research. Not at all self-centered, this added perspective bridges the past and the present, allowing the reader to view the contemporary world through the artist's lens. Not hampered by the sort of self-censorship that haunts writing in Poland today, Karpeles is able to explore Czapski's sexuality, his inner conflicts, his religiosity, with an uninhibited simplicity. We thus get a full portrait of a complex character who, above all, remained true to himself throughout his life.
Probably one of the most beautiful books I've read. It is not only biography of the painter, writer and unbelievable historical figure (what a richness of life!!!), but the book about the artist written by the artist, the model for writing about someones life. It is not only fascinating combination of facts (which indeed are extremaly interesting in Czapski life - from russian Tzsar, to Stalin, Soviet camp and parisian "golden time" of Proust, Picasso, Diaghilev etc.), but first of all it is the book about finding the substance of life, substance of painting. This book gives the reader a breath of understanding what is art and what is life. It is also the biography of entire 20th century - it shows its beauty, level of complication, darkness and pain.It is important biography, and work of art istelf, piece of an outstanding prose of the 21st century.
