    POLAND Culture and Art ISBN 978-83-8010-013-8 www.poland.travel EN Culture and Art 3 Culture and Art Culture and Art 5 Culture: Our national heritage and the testimony of romantic reflections Polish culture is woven from the memories of past greatness and the dreams of a better future, and its national character is deeply rooted in Romanticism. In every branch of contemporary art, our rich Polish folklore becomes a source of inspiration for artists. nown for being very musical, Poles love dance and music. Folk melodies Kcan be heard in Chopin’s works, while Krzysztof Penderecki and Witold Lutosławski set new standards in the world of avant-garde music. Poland attracts a lot of attention, thanks to its talented jazz musicians and young artists excelling in the domain of alternative music. The poetry of Wisława Szymborska, recognised with a Nobel Prize, is appreciated in many corners of the world. Like Szymborska’s poems, many others’ works have been translated into foreign languages: the literary reportages of Ryszard Kapuściński, the futuristic prose of Stanisław Lem or the dramas of Sławomir Mrożek. Igor Mitoraj and Magdalena Abakanowicz are consid- ered ambassadors of Polish sculpture, with their monumental works arousing worldwide admi- ration. Roman Opałka’s and Wilhelm Sasnal’s paintings are highly sought after by art collec- tors. ▶ ▶ Poland has been home to many illustrious personalities, whose work changed the face of the world. Some were scientists, like Nicolaus Coperni- cus or Marie Skłodowska-Curie. Others shaped our reality in different ways, for example, the founders of Hollywood, Samuel Goldwyn and the Warner brothers.

  • Maria Skłodowska-Curie's Warsaw
    Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s Warsaw ROUTE PL 1 Presentation of the route Places related to Maria Skłodowska-Curie’s childhood and youth. The route takes you to the footsteps of the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize and, so far, the only one who has been awarded the Nobel Prize for two different scientific disciplines (chemistry and physics). Maria Skłodowska- Curie was born in Warsaw, where she spent her childhood and youth too. From a very young age, she was fond of walking by the Wisła river. Today, a statue of Skłodowska- Curie in Warsaw’s New Town looks towards the Wisła river. It is the first waypoint of our route. Maria Skłodowska belonged to a generation of emancipated Polish women who, thanks to the schools for girls and the so-called Flying University (Uniwersytet Latający) in Warsaw received an education which enabled them to undertake university studies that were inaccessible to women in the Russian Empire. The walk leads through the places where Maria Skłodowska lived, studied, grew up and celebrated her successes.

    THE ART OF WEARING ART IGOR MITORAJ’S JEWELRIES CONTINI ART GALLERY – CALLE LARGA XXII MARZO – VENEZIA May 19th – December 15th 2018 The Contini Art Gallery is pleased to present, as an absolute preview, a very important collection: “Igor Mitoraj’s Jewels: The Art of Wearing Art”, to be held in its location at Calle Larga XXII Marzo in Venice. For over twenty years the Contini Art Gallery has dedicated particular attention to Igor Mitoraj, one of the most significant artists in the national and international contemporary scene, a point of reference for art collectors from all over the world. Mitoraj's artistic creation is very elaborate. Carrara marble, travertine, bronze with patinas of different colors characterize his sculptures, even monumental, but in addition to this well established and well- known production, his sensitivity has been able to express itself in another less known form: jewels. The exhibition, that will be inaugurated on May 19th at the Contini Art Gallery in Venice, is going to propose a wide selection of jewels, over twenty pieces including necklaces, bracelets, rings and brooches. These refined objects are evidence of a deep research between tradition, taste, harmony, beauty and art, through the processing of precious materials such as yellow gold, white, pink and silver.

In the hands of Polish sculptor, Magdalena Abakanowicz, sisal, burlap, bronze, and wood are transformed into metaphors simultaneously expressing the fragility and strength of humans and the natural world. Deeply personal, drawing upon her experience of the destruction of Poland during World War II, Abakanowicz's work reaches cross-cultural audiences through her ability to turn personal insight into universal expression. The artist accomplishes this difficult task using a visual language of metaphor. Through metaphor, Abakanowicz discusses aspects of humanity that are less tangible by equating them to something more concrete. Careful use of materials allows the metaphors to resonate, even with people who did not experience devastating effects of World War II. In comparing unlike things, such as sheets of steel to wings or eggs to rocks, Abakanowicz lends 1 Figure 3: Abakanowicz, (1960). Rose Magdalena, p.191. insight into complexit being human.
