DOWNLOAD EBOOKShowcasing the extraordinary achievements of the proponents of Polish modernism from the 1890s to 1918, this ground-breaking book brings together pioneering research with beautiful imagery. Mloda Polska, or Young Poland, embraced the integration of fine and applied arts, motivated by a desire to establish a distinctive national style at a time of political uncertainty. Patriotic values were expressed through a diverse visual language that was fuelled by national identity, but also looked beyond Poland to Western Europe and the influences of Impressionism, Expressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, while also displaying parallels with the British Arts and Crafts Movement. Young Poland's painting has been discussed within an international arena, but its decorative arts and architecture has yet to enjoy broad exposure. Here, for the first time, the considerable achievements of the movement's applied artists will be discussed, both from a national and international perspective. Highlighting Young Poland's integration of fine and decorative arts, the movement's ideological, stylistic and formal commonalities with British Arts and Crafts, and the vision of Ruskin and Morris, will be drawn out to provide fascinating insights for Western and Eastern audiences alike.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"The present book is a synthetic outline of the most important fields of folk plastic art in Poland represented as far as possible in their historical development. The authors regard folk art as one of the essential elements of the traditional culture of Polish peasants. The first chapters of the book describe the fundamental framework of the existence of village inhabitants, namely spatial systems of settlement, types of peasants' farmsteads, the shape of the dwelling and its interior. Gradually, we learn more about the furnishings of the house and objects of everyday use, with the whole richness of their forms and decoration. Beginning with wooden equipment -- carved and painted -- through ceramic artifacts and specimens of artistic blacksmithery, the authors pass to country-made textiles and to costume, distinguishing their most important types. Further parts of the book are devoted to art which expresses directly the spiritual culture of Polish folk, namely to such fields as sculpture, painting and graphic art, and to the creative work related to native, annual rites."--Publisher's description.
