  Young Poland. Polish Art 1890-1918

  The exhibition “Young Poland”, dedicated to Poland and the development of Polish art in its “golden period“, that is between 1890 and 1918, will be held in Japan in 2025. It will tell a story about Polish history, the prologue to which will be outlined by works by Jan Matejko and Artur Grottger, as well as about Polish art, which at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was not only part of the process of constructing national identity, but also ensured Poland’s presence and successes in the art salons of Europe despite the fact that Poland did not exist on maps of the time.

  Transformations. Modernity in the Third Polish Republic

  The exhibition “Transformations. Modernity in the Third Polish Republic” is the last in the “4 x Modernity” series which has been organised at the National Museum in Krakow since 2021. As part of the exhibition, a wide variety of interpretations of modernity are shown in the fields of Polish art, architecture and design, beginning from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries and continuing up to the present day. This fourth exhibition will illustrate the phenomenon of the revision of the concept of modernity and its titular transformation, which were contemporaneous with the social, cultural, and political transformations which took place after 1989. A consequence of these transformations was a multiplicity of creative attitudes and a reinterpretation of the code of modernity, which no longer presented a unified and cohesive image yet which brought about a dynamic and diverse polyphony of voices, characteristic of the cultural life of the Third Republic.

  EXHIBITION – VIGNETTES, SIGNETS, AND CARTOUCHES – THE BEAUTY OF ANCIENT BOOKS AND MAPS

  The beauty of books is determined by the fonts used, their form, and the initials, which comprise a fundamental aspect of the layout of the text, often enriched with illustrations. The graphic design of both books and maps is enhanced by the addition of many decorative elements such as vignettes, tailpieces, cartouches, decorative borders, dashes and so on, which give a compact block of text or title a feeling of elegance and lightness. The style of these decorations allows for the identification of the period in which a given book or map was created.
