Best known as the founder of modern Polish drama, he was also an artist and applied arts designer. During his short career, he created a number of striking portraits in pastel of his family and contemporary Cracovians. These works collectively provide a fascinating insight into the cultural life of a nation under partition and striving for independence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis illustrated publication showcases 70 of Wyspiański's portraits. Full of colour and vitality, his works draw on indigenous folk traditions but are executed in a progressive, expressive style influenced by the years he spent in Paris. They epitomise the ideals and aspirations of the Young Poland movement with which he is closely associated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eStanislaw Wyspianski Portraits\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential exploration of the artist's legacy, reflecting the cultural vibrancy and historical context of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853042962668,"sku":"9781855145795","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13928033482848.jpg?v=1759179665","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/stanislaw-wyspianski-portraits-9781855145795","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
