Polish art has often reflected European trends while maintaining its unique character.

The Kraków school of Historicist painting developed by Jan Matejko produced monumental portrayals of customs and significant events in Polish history.

He is referred to as the most famous Polish painter or even the "national painter" of Poland.

Stanisław Witkiewicz was an ardent supporter of Realism in Polish art, its main representative being Jozef Chełmoński.

The Młoda Polska (Young Poland) movement witnessed the birth of modern Polish art and engaged in a great deal of formal experimentation led by Jacek Malczewski (Symbolism), Stanisław Wyspiański, Józef Mehoffer, and a group of Polish Impressionists. Artists of the twentieth-century Avant-Garde represented various schools and trends.

"Impressionism is only direct sensation. All great painters were less or more impressionists. It is mainly a question of instinct, and much simpler than (John Singer) Sargent thinks".

- Claude Monet🎨 (1840-1926)

"Ho avuto il solo merito di aver dipinto direttamente di fronte alla natura, cercando di rendere le mie impressioni davanti agli effetti più fuggevoli, e sono desolato di essere stato la causa del nome dato ad un gruppo, la maggior parte del quale non aveva nulla di impressionista".

- Claude Monet🎨 (1840-1926)

"Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul; on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful" - Plato.

"Someone, I say, will remember us in the future".

The absence of women from the canon of Western art has been a subject of inquiry and reconsideration since the early 1970s.

Linda Nochlin's influential 1971 essay, "Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?" examined the social and institutional barriers that blocked most women from entering artistic professions throughout history, prompted a new focus on women artists, their art and experiences, and contributed inspiration to the Feminist art movement.

20th century Art History and Sitemap

Twentieth-century art - and what it became as modern art - began with modernism in the late nineteenth century.

Nineteenth-century movements of Post-Impressionism (Les Nabis), Art Nouveau and Symbolism led to the first twentieth-century art movements of Fauvism in France and Die Brücke ("The Bridge") in Germany.

Fauvism in Paris introduced heightened non-representational colour into figurative painting.

Die Brücke strove for emotional Expressionism.
