Twórczość Leona Wyczółkowskiego

Exhibition organised by the District Museum in Bydgoszcz dedicated to the works of its name patron, the Young Poland painter Leon Wyczółkowski.

The exhibition, based on own, artistic and biographical collections from the Leon Wyczółkowski Department, as well as from the collections of the Department of History and the Department of Numismatics, presents works by Wyczółkowski, trends in Polish painting and contextual cues about the artistic community of the turn of the 19th and 20th century. Accompanying the exhibition are objects from the Department of History and Arts and Crafts, which convey the atmosphere of the time.

The exhibition is aimed at different audiences; those familiar with Wyczółkowski's work and those for whom it is new. School children and young people visiting the Museum will find the opportunity to become acquainted with the outstanding painter and graphic artist working at the turn of the century, as well as with his original working methods. The inclusion of the Wyczółkowski collection in a specific space of a historical character is emphasised by the objects used by the artist in his everyday life, coming partly from the Leon Wyczółkowski Department, supplemented by collections from the Department of History and Arts and Crafts. The works on display range from the earliest works to the latest; this arrangement has also made it possible to show thematic groups from the artist's circle of interest.
