The paintings of Jan Cybis from the collections of the National Museum in Krakow and the donation of Jacek Cybis to the National Museum in Krakow.<\/p>\n
The collection of works by Jan Cybis (1897\u20131972), recognised as the leader of the Kapists and the most well-known Polish Colourist, from the NMK collections is presented for the first time in its entirety. It consists of 13 oil paintings created between the 1920s and mid-1960s plus one watercolour (Pejza\u017c [Landscape], 1947). The oil paintings include Widok Pary\u017ca. Pejza\u017c z Malakoff\u00a0[View of Paris. Landscape from Malakoff] (1927),\u00a0Pejza\u017c z Francji. Motyw z Montereau [Landscape from France. Motif from Montereau] (1928),\u00a0Kwiaty w kloszu [Flowers in a Vase]\u00a0(1939),\u00a0Akt kobiecy\u00a0[Female Nude] (1947),\u00a0Pejza\u017c morski. Port rybacki w Or\u0142owie [Seascape. Fishing port in Or\u0142\u00f3w]\u00a0(1960) and\u00a0Niebor\u00f3w. Przystanek [Niebor\u00f3w. Station] (1966).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jacek Cybis, the son of the artist, donated to the Museum in 2018 a set of letters from J\u00f3zef Czapski to his father and also some rare books, including copy number 113 (of 1000) of a numbered edition of the album by Paul C\u00e9zanne\u00a0Carnets de dessins, published in Paris in 1951, with a foreword by John Rewald, as well as copy number 29 (of 50) of an album and diary by J\u00f3zef Czapski\u2019s good friend Jean Colin d\u2019Amiens (1927\u20131959), published in Paris in 1961, with a foreword by J\u00f3zef Czapski and Jacques Desbri\u00e8re.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Czapski\u2019s letters, imaginatively composed, covered with notes and addenda in all directions, drawings and watercolour sketches, cross-outs, displaying occasionally peculiar grammar, punctuation, and 19th century spelling, are a memento not only of the way in which the author formulated his thoughts, but also seem to encapsulate the living voice of Czapski. They are a priceless work of the art of painting, as well as the now lost art of letter writing. The original letters were read and transcribed by Maria and Janusz S. Nowak and Jacek Cybis, with editorial work by Agnieszka Kosi\u0144ska.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
