Exhibition of Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s works from the collection of the National Museum in Krakow.<\/p>\n
Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski (1869\u20131907) \u2013 playwright, poet, painter, graphic artist, theatre reformer and interior designer \u2013 is one of the greatest and most versatile Polish artists<\/p>\n
The National Museum in Krakow holds the largest collection of works of this eminent artist, consisting of more than 1,000 exhibits. The set of Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s pastel portraits and landscapes is outstanding \u2013 pastel being a technique in which Wyspia\u0144ski achieved absolute mastery \u2013 just like the collection of designs for the interior decoration of the Franciscan church in Krakow, cathedrals in Lviv and Krakow and the Medical Society House in Krakow. The collection also includes pencil drawings, charcoal studies, ink sketches, watercolours, oil paintings, prints, graphic design and artisanal handicraft.<\/p>\n
May 2019 saw the closure of the monumental exhibition Wyspia\u0144ski which attracted crowds of visitors. Intending to give the public permanent access to Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s painting, we have decided to present a major portion of this large collection in a room within the space of the future Gallery of Art of the 20th and 21st Centuries on the Main Building\u2019s second floor. The exhibition has been designed as a storeroom of works of art with enabled access to masterpieces presented within periodic displays, respecting conservatorial requirements.<\/p>\n
Pastel paintings are displayed as mosaics on the walls; the monumental stained-glass cartoons are mounted on raised platforms; and loose drawings and sketchbooks are arranged in cabinets and bookshelves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
