Chełmoński
The Krakow exhibition culminates the monumental series of three monographic exhibitions dedicated to Józef Chełmoński (1849–1914). Two previous editions took place at the National Museum in Warsaw and the National Museum in Poznań. The exhibition includes a wide selection of oil paintings, watercolours and drawing works from many private collections as well as from museum collections - domestic and foreign ones. The extraordinary talent of the creator of Gossamer (pl. Babie lato) and the sensual beauty of his works have earned him the status of a national artist and one of the most outstanding representatives of Polish realism.
