Event description
Jan Szancenbach (1928-1998), a representative of colorism, for many years a lecturer and the rector of the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, described himself as a cheerful pessimist. His paintings are full of joy, light, and color. He must have been a pessimist really deep inside, as his family, students and coworkers have always told about him as an unusually delicate and friendly person. The exhibition consists of works from the artist’s own collection. Szancenbach painted mostly using oil colors, and the works on paper – watercolors, gouaches, and drawings were mostly created for his own use. May this exhibition be a leap into the private, personal world of the artist and a way to get to know his reality. Among presented compositions, the spectators will find dynamic representations of athletes and dancers, intimate portraits of people close to the artists, cityscapes, landscapes and still lifes.
