Title: Wyspianski nieznany
Description: Wyspianski. Unknown? consists primarily of works of art and objects associated with Stanis?aw Wyspianski which the public will have the opportunity to see for the very first time.0Visitors will be able to see more than 600 items from the artist?s library, purchased by the Museum in 1920 from Wyspianski?s widow, Teodora Teofilia née Pytko. Nearly all of the books are signed by the artist and dated. Many contain pencil sketches done by Wyspianski, while others include dedications from contemporary poets and writers who presented the artist with the books as gifts.0The exhibition will also present a set of first editions of Wyspianski?s dramas, from Legenda (Legend) and Warszawianka (Varsovian Anthem), published in 1898, to Skalka (The Rock), Powrót Odysa (The Return of Odysseus), and Sedziowie (The Judges), published in the year of the artist?s death. Not to be missed also are heretofore little-known works of the artist, including drawings from the days of his youth and pastels from the collections of the National Museum in Poznan, the Lublin Museum, the National Museum in Warsaw, and the holdings of private collectors, among others. 00Exhibition: National Museum Kraków, Poland (16.01. - 05.05.2019).
