Book Description
A beautiful and comprehensive exploration of Symbolism in Polish painting at the turn of the century. The turn of the century was a golden age for Polish art. In a nation without sovereignty--until achieving its independence in 1918, Poland was divided between Russia, Prussia, and Austria-Hungary--a young generation of artists emerged and breathed new life into painting. Silent Rebels: Symbolism in Poland around 1900 presents masterpieces from this era, caught between the Decadent movement of the late nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. The pieces in the collection have their roots in Polish culture, history, and geography, as well as a close connection to the fin de siècle European art scene. These paintings bring the viewer into a world of myths and legends, into dreamlike landscapes, old traditions, and customs, and down to the very depths of the human soul.

Book Description
A collection of Polish paintings over the fifteenth century which reflects the intermingling of the past, present and future-oriented trends which were curent in Europe and which, in the treatment of the apparently unchangeable themes of Chrstianity, represented the trial of the three main ways in which art can approprach the phenomena of the world: searching to idealizing them in accordance with a scale of values or intellectual principles; faithfully recording them as seen by the eye; or giving them an entirely new aspect of bringing out the intense subjective perceptions of the soul.

Book Description
Showcasing the extraordinary achievements of the proponents of Polish modernism from the 1890s to 1918, this ground-breaking book brings together pioneering research with beautiful imagery. Mloda Polska, or Young Poland, embraced the integration of fine and applied arts, motivated by a desire to establish a distinctive national style at a time of political uncertainty. Patriotic values were expressed through a diverse visual language that was fuelled by national identity, but also looked beyond Poland to Western Europe and the influences of Impressionism, Expressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, while also displaying parallels with the British Arts and Crafts Movement. Young Poland's painting has been discussed within an international arena, but its decorative arts and architecture has yet to enjoy broad exposure. Here, for the first time, the considerable achievements of the movement's applied artists will be discussed, both from a national and international perspective. Highlighting Young Poland's integration of fine and decorative arts, the movement's ideological, stylistic and formal commonalities with British Arts and Crafts, and the vision of Ruskin and Morris, will be drawn out to provide fascinating insights for Western and Eastern audiences alike.
