In March 2019, on the 150th anniversary of J\u00f3zef Mehoffer\u2019s birthday, Dr Wies\u0142aw Zad\u0119cki donated a set of his drawings and portraits to the NMK, a wide selection of which is presented at the exhibition.<\/p>\n
The donor, who is sadly deceased, was a physicist who at the same time had excellent knowledge of art. He strongly emphasized the fact that he was donating the collection of Mehoffer\u2019s works to the Museum in accordance with the will of his parents, Halina and Stanis\u0142aw Zad\u0119cki, who had close, friendly relations with the artist. During the war, they lived with their son in Krakow. Wies\u0142aw Zad\u0119cki met J\u00f3zef Mehoffer as a young boy and kept many memories from these meetings which he passed onto us. They are very valuable, as they document a completely unknown theme in the artist\u2019s biography (their transcript is available on the website of J\u00f3zef Mehoffer\u2019s House, NMK Branch<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n Among the drawings featured in the exhibition, the study for the artist\u2019s 1937 oil Self-Portrait<\/em>, painted for the rectors\u2019 gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, takes a central place. In Zbiniew Mehoffer\u2019s room, where the exhibition is held, an original replica of that image is permanently exhibited.\u00a0<\/p>\n We were also given portraits of Halina and Stanis\u0142aw Zad\u0119cki painted by Mehoffer. His other valuable works donated to the NMK include the study of St. Claudius<\/em> (1912\u20131913) for the stained-glass window Deacons and Bishops<\/em> in the St. Nicholas Cathedral in Fribourg, Switzerland, The Boy Nude<\/em> (1899\u20131900), a study for the design of a frieze for the Palace of Fine Arts \u00a0in Krakow, and an image of the artist\u2019s wife Jadwiga from 1929.\u00a0<\/p>\n Curator and coordinator \u2013 Beata Studzi\u017cba-Kubalska In March 2019, on the 150th anniversary of J\u00f3zef Mehoffer\u2019s birthday, Dr Wies\u0142aw Zad\u0119cki donated a set of his drawings and portraits to the NMK, a wide selection of which is presented at the exhibition.
