So it is no sur‑ prise that the vast majority of pioneers of twentieth century design, such as the later to be discussed Karol Frycz, Wojciech Jastrzębowski, Bonawentura Lenart, Adam Półtawski and many others that could not be fitted in this volume (Edmund Bartłomiejczyk, Antoni Procajłowicz, Ludwik Misky, Zygmunt Kamiński, PIERWSZE Władysław Skoczylas) came from Cracow or at least POKOLENIA were educated at its Academy of Fine Arts.

For 1900–1945 this generation, the best indicators of the new aesthetic currents were the English Arts and Crafts movement, and especially, thanks to its direct cultural and admin‑ istrative proximity, the Wiener Werkstätte, founded in 1903 by Josef Hoffmann PIOTR and Koloman Moser. In Cracow, work on artistic issues had already been under‑ way at the end of the previous century.
