Finissage 11.10.2023 / at 18.00 / Spichlerz - Wilkowa / Radom Village Museum
Ilona Jaroszek, director of the Radom Village Museum, invites you to the finissage of the exhibition "EDWARD HARTWIG MAZOWIECKIE KRAJOBRAZY". The event will be attended by a special guest - Tomek Sikora, one of the most creative Polish photographers.
The exhibition "EDWARD HARTWIG MAZOWIECKIE KRAJOBRAZY" features photographs representing a cross-section of seven decades of creative work by one of Poland's most outstanding photographers. An artist recognized on all continents, whose works have been and are presented in the world's largest art galleries.
Edward Hartwig was born in Moscow in 1909 and died in 2003 in Warsaw. He became known as a master of landscape. His works also fulfilled the program of "native photography" propagated by Jan Bulhak. They presented a peculiar marriage of realism with the traditions of pictorialism. He was a landscape photographer, portraitist, documentary photographer, sports photographer, photographed people of theater and art.
- While working on the exhibition, we made a very interesting discovery. The artist's camera came to our museum, and inside was a film. After developing the negative, it turned out that Edward Hartwig himself had been captured on it during one of his last exhibitions around 2001, and probably one of the last photographic motifs he worked on. We are happy to share this discovery with you by presenting it at the exhibition as probably the last work of the photographer," says Sebastian Klochowicz curator of the exhibition.
Honorary Patronage was assumed by Mr. Adam Struzik Marshal of the Mazovian Voivodeship.
