  No retouching. Jan Matejko

  Watercolours allow for very little possibility of retouching of correcting the image created. Painting in this medium involves the application of thin, nearly transparent layers of paint to the paper, through which the substrate is visible. The technique requires precision and accuracy. Once painted, a given fragment can only be very slightly modified by the application of further layers or by the removal of some of the pigment.

  MUSEUM POWER

  MUSEUM POWER is an experimental exhibition addressed to those of us who have visited a museum at least once in their lives and left it awestruck, or hated it or remained indifferent. We have been through that, too. What was happening to us then? How did our senses and cultural anchoring influence that experience? And how were we influenced by the museum itself?

  Exhibition of painting: Portrait of the Artist’s Son on Horseback

  Portraits occupy a special place in Jan Matejko’s art. As Stanisław Tarnowski wrote, “the artist’s portraits could be the subject of a separate and interesting study”. Among over one hundred portraits painted by Matejko, there are self-portraits and portraits of his closest ones.
