Visiting the exhibition 'Józef Chełmoński' with a guide from the Education Department of MNW.
In the history of Polish art, Józef Chełmoński is one of the most highly regarded painters, and his work occupies a special place. The visions of nature, village views, and scenes from the lives of its inhabitants that he created have been considered the quintessence of 'Polishness' in painting of the 19th and early 20th centuries for over a hundred years. Chełmoński, a romantic endowed with a lively temperament, immense vitality, and a sense of humor, created in an instinctive and intuitive manner, independent of any programmatic assumptions. He was distinguished by an excellent sense of observation and the ability to remember the most fleeting impressions, which he then captured on canvas.
The layout of the exhibition will reflect the most important areas of Chełmoński's painting interests: it will present him as a chronicler of everyday village life, an artist fascinated by horses, their beauty, character, and the dynamic vitality of movement, and finally as a sensitive observer of nature, also perceiving the spiritual, religious-mystical dimension of its existence. Such a designed exhibition will create an opportunity for a new, critical look at Chełmoński's painting.
