Bolesław Biegas

The exhibition of Bolesław Biegas's work has been on offer at the Mazovian Museum in Płock for 25 years. During this time it has had 4 different locations. On 28 April 2022, the collection of 57 works by Biegas returned to 8 Tumska Street after almost 12 years of functioning in other facilities/philosophies belonging to the Mazovian Museum. Most of the objects on display are plaster sculptures created in the first decade of the 20th century, the oldest dating from 1918 being two versions of the design for the Hommage Allied monument to the victims of the war. Of the thirteen paintings on display, most were created in the second decade of the 20th century, the two oldest dating from 1945 are titled Silent Perversion and Satanic Gaze. A unique object is a linen fabric with ornamental motifs designed by Biegas and applied and embroidered by peasant women from Masłówka near Kyiv (Ukraine), where Baron Henryk Trütschel, who together with his wife Jadwiga supported Bolesław Biegas financially, treating him almost like a son, had extensive properties.
