Selected works by Stanisław Wyspiański

Stanisław Wyspiański's versatile talent places him – an artist so strongly associated with Krakow – among the greatest personalities of Polish modernism. His paintings and prints are commonly known, though he was just as passionate about typography and decorative arts. He will also remain in our collective memory as a writer of poetry and dramas. The National Museum in Krakow holds the largest collection of works by Wyspiański in Poland. We encourage everyone to explore our virtual gallery of selected works of the artist – both his most famous works, most widely reproduced and close to the heart of every Pole, and those less popular, but equally outstanding.

  Olga Boznańska

  “My paintings look great because they are the truth, they are fair, yours, there is no narrow-mindness, no mannerism and no bluff”. Was not Boznańska a megalomaniac to write like that? Or maybe quite the opposite, a fully devoted to art, aware of her attainments artist having no reasons to mince? You can soon find out how a contemporary viewer perceives the art of that painter considered a genius in her time.

  Maksymilian Gierymski: works, inspirations, reception.

  The National Museum in Krakow reminds the creative output of Maksymilian Gierymski (1846–1874), one of the most famous 19th-century Polish painters belonging to artists' colony in Munich. The 140th anniversary of the artist's death, which is celebrated this year, was the pretext for the exhibition. The artist, who died young, at the age of only 28, left creative output which inspired next generations of artists and was the beginning of the first Polish school of landscape painting.

  Zuzanna Janin. The Time of Cruel Miracles Is Not Over

  In The Time of Cruel Miracles Is Not Over the National Museum in Krakow introduces the works of Zuzanna Janin, one of Poland’s most important artists after 1989. With her original productions Janin contravenes the well-established pattern of considering Polish art of the 1990s only in the context of the so-called critical art and pop banalism. Since the early years of that decade Janin has been contemplating the relation between the individual and society, which produces mechanisms intended to restrict individual freedom. As an artist, Janin has taken a critical look at the homogeneous vision of culture. Seeking to divert that perspective, she has been emphasizing the potential of imagination, just as French situationists advocated vesting it with absolute power. Her pursuits in that area do not come down to purely aesthetic concerns. Janin has been sensitive to social and political reality. She is critical of the models of unrestricted life offered by culture.
