A discovery: Polish Symbolism between decadence and a new beginning The turn of the century was a golden age for Polish art. The publication shows about 130 masterpieces of painting from this era between decadence and a new beginning and describes its roots in Polish history, culture and nature as well as the close connections with the European art scene. Polish painting in around 1900 carries us into a world of myths and legends, into dream-like landscapes, old traditions and customers, into the depths of the human soul. In a nation without its own state - until its independence in 1918 Poland was divided between Russia, Prussia and Austria-Hungary - a young generation of artists emerged to renew painting. They gave it a common identity, but joined forces at the same time with the European avant-gardes. Artists featured: Teodor Axentowicz, Olga Boznanska, Jozef Chelmonski, Wladyslaw Czachorski, Julian Falat, Wojciech Gerson, Aleksander Gierymski, Gustaw Gwozdecki, Vlastimil Hofman, Wladyslaw Jarocki, Konrad Krzyzanowski, Jacek Malczewski, Jan Matejko, Jozef Mehoffer, Edward Okun, Jozef Pankiewicz, Wladyslaw Podkowinski, Witold Pruszkowski, Ferdynand Ruszczyc, Kazimierz Sichulski, Wladyslaw Slewinski, Kazimierz Stabrowski, Jan Stanislawski, Henryk Szczyglinski, Wlodzimierz Tetmajer, Wojciech Weiss, Stanislaw Witkiewicz, Witold Wojtkiewicz, Leon Wyczolkowski, Stanislaw Wyspianski

In 1993 he was a fellow of the European Paintings department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. From 1994 to 2000 he was a research fellow at the Cleveland Museum of Art, where he mainly worked on the inventory of 19th century European paintings. As a curator at the Dahesh Museum of Art, New York, he organized exhibitions in the field of art of the 19th century. In 2006 he moved to the Kunsthalle of the Hypo-Kulturstiftung in Munich as a curator, where he has been director since 2013.
