Faces of Freedom | Polish print art of the XX and XXI century

 

Polish graphic art is a sensitive sign on the scale of freedom. The narration of the exhibition  Faces of Freedom passes through three its dimensions: political and internal freedom: concerning the human dignity and freedom of believes.

 

Print art of the  80s in XX century  is associated with criticism of the totalitarian regime. Oppressive system has been shown in the borderline situation – of the breakdown and the fall. Black and white and rapacity of the art form, graphic sign, were an expression of the opposition . Breakthrough in 1989 became the new opening in the graphic. Over the 25 years since the Round Table freedom has become the new reality. Freedom of religion, tolerance for diversity , as well as the enslavement of the twenty-first century – the surveillance and the exclusion, are reflected in the work of artists of the young generation . Diversity of a  formal expression is manifested in colours and in combinations of new technologies. 10 years in the EU have allowed the verification of the concept of freedom and to face its various aspects.

 

Artists of a few generations participate in the exhibition: masters , the generation of the turning point, and those who were born  after 1989. Presented works are covering period 1980 - 2012. A total of 44 artists presents more than 70 works.
