The \u201cWyspia\u0144ski. Afterword\u201d exhibition will show new, little known works of The Wedding\u2019s author and his students \u2013 inheritors of his ideas.<\/p>\n
They complete the space of the two \u201clibraries\u201d, already known from the \u201cWyspia\u0144ski. Unknown\u201d exhibition, showing the artist\u2019s early works inspired by his reading on the history of art, his innovative editing and typography work, as well as his private collection of books purchased from his widow, Teofila Wyspia\u0144ska, maiden name Pytko. Other elements preserved from \u201cWyspia\u0144ski. Unknown\u201d exhibition are two spaces, exploring the role of books in the artist\u2019s life: one \u2013 with the drawings from Book I of Homer\u2019s Iliad, completed with nineteenth-century publications that inspired Wyspia\u0144ski, and the other: with the project of Apollo stained glass for Krakow Medical Society House, together with source literature related to ancient art and Pre-Raphaelites\u2019 paintings. <\/p>\n
A small room contains fabrics decorated with floral ornaments designed by Wyspia\u0144ski. These works, which have not been exhibited before, reveal a significant trait of his artistic output: the fascination with folk art.<\/p>\n
Colourful batik fabrics are juxtaposed with publications of the turn of the centuries: Poetry by Lucjan Rydel (1901) and Selected works of Maria Konopnicka (1903). Wyspia\u0144ski designed the graphics of both books, using delicate floral motifs based on folk art paper cutting and embroidery to decorate their pages. <\/p>\n
The wall under the mezzanine and the connector exhibit Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s oil paintings and drawings from the collection of the NMK, some of which have not been shown before, like the study of a woman in a veil \u2013 a project of decoration of Rudolfinum building in Prague (1890-1891), pastel Portrait of Tadeusz Stryje\u0144ski\u2019s Children (1894) or the drawings of costumes for Lucjan Rydel\u2019s play Magic Circle (1899). A real discovery is the artist\u2019s new, unknown works, borrowed from private collectors or institutions. One of the most beautiful paintings is the Portrait of the Misses Bober of 1894. This pastel painting, referred to in Wyspia\u0144ski\u2019s first monography of 1925, was kept outside Poland since the end of World War II.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
A separate part of the exhibition, closing the story of Wyspia\u0144ski, is a small showcase of his students\u2019 works. Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski was given the job of an assistant professor of decorative painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow on 12 April 1902. In the years 1902-1907, the author of \u201cPlanty Park at Dawn\u201d taught the following artists: Ignacy Bett (1877-1919), Jan Bulas (1878-1917), Antoni Buszek (1883\u20131954), , Tytus Czy\u017cewski (1880-1945), Filip Demczuk (1879- ?), Wincenty Drabik (1881-1933), Christo Kutew (1868-1943), Jan Lewicki (1881-?), Wilhelm Mitarski (1879\u20131923), Tymon Niesio\u0142owski (1882-1965), Jan Rembowski (1879-19230, Stanis\u0142aw Rzecki (1888-1972), Kazimierz Sichulski (1879\u20131942), Henryk Uziemb\u0142o (1879-1949), Micha\u0142 \u017buk (1883 \u2013 1964).

The exhibition shows their single works, accompanied by short memories of their great master.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
