The Paths of the Soul: Gustav Vigeland and Polish Sculpture c. 1900
Tue 5th
Oct
The floridly decadent fin-de-siecle era gave birth to some of Poland's finest art, and the lion's share of it was created right here in Krakow. A key figure in Krakow's bohemia was Stanislaw Przybyszewski, a heavy-drinking, demonic philosopher who introduced local sculptors to the works of Norwegian genius Gustav Vigeland. The Scandinavian was influential on a crop of bright young Polish artists, and at this show, visitors can admire Vigeland's masterpieces alongside his Polish contemporaries. Promises to be a stunning show.
