Limpol discovers Krakow! This time, as part of the "Limpol discovers Kraków" series, our team visited the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology next door. We had the opportunity to see the unique exhibitions there:
- the exhibition "TATRY - Wróblewski, Karłowicz, Wyczółkowski
- Beata Zuba's exhibition 'Permeating the Mountain', which the artist herself showed us around.
"TATRY - Wróblewski, Karłowicz, Wyczółkowski
The exhibition is built around Andrzej Wróblewski's original black-and-white Mountain Cycle. It is accompanied by prints by Leon Wyczółkowski, inspired by Japanese ukiyo-e colour woodcuts (images of a flowing, passing world), and Tatra photographs by Mieczysław Karłowicz, composer, mountaineer and photographer.
"Penetrating the Mountain" Beata Zuba
The presentation of Beata Zuba's work at the Manggha Museum is part of the Polish-Japanese dialogue: the artist from Krakow, who is extremely sensitive to nature, portrays mountains, which are also one of the most important motifs of Japanese culture. Of Beata Zuba's mountain paintings, Krystyna Czerni writes: "If one were to look for painterly ancestors for these paintings, it would probably be Leon Wyczółkowski and his series of Tatra masterpieces: mountains painted almost monochromatically, in black and white, at different times, in varying light. The monumental, strongly framed shots of rock massifs masterfully operate with scale and chiaroscuro, almost reaching the limits of abstraction'."
Limpol had the pleasure of becoming a sponsor of this exhibition, of which we are extremely proud. If you don't have an idea for the weekend yet and if you love mountains - drop by the Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology. Highly recommended!
