We invite you to the second part of the "Time of Art" series, during which we will travel in time and space to discover fascinating, diverse faces of art. During the meetings, we will explore the stories of Polish artists whose work was inspired by travel, discover traces of exotic Japan in Polish art and look at the works of such figures as Frida Kahlo and Józef Mehoffer. There will also be an exploration of monumental works of academism and the genius of Michelangelo. Each meeting is a unique opportunity not only to get to know the works of art, but also to understand the context of their creation, learn about creative techniques and discover interesting facts about the artists and their times. The meetings will be led by experts in art history.

Small and large-format painting, graphics, stained glass, broadly understood design, interior decoration, green architecture - all these concepts organize, but do not exhaust the scope of Józef Mehoffer's artistic activities. Interestingly, despite his long and creative life, the artist from Ropczyce fades away in comparison with the drama of Stanisław Wyspiański and the power of Jan Matejko. Is that right? We will find out during the lecture devoted to the outstanding Young Poland artist.
