Presents the painting “Liberty Leading the People” after Delacroix
The cultural task of the artist is to shake up sacred cows, obvious truths and habits.
Edward Dwurnik (19 April 1943 – 28 October 2018) was born in Radzymin on 19 April 1943. He was one of the most popular artists in Poland.
The painter’s oeuvre includes over 8,000 paintings and over 12,000 works on paper. He was an undisputed workaholic. His work can be divided into several cycles, periods and fascinations.
Despite the diversity of Dwurnik’s work, his style is so distinctive that it is easily recognisable by both art lovers and laymen who do not have much to do with art.
This is proof of how great and popular an artist he was in Poland.
Text: Edward Dwurnik, BOSZ
Contrary to appearances, art is a powerful weapon with centuries-old destructive force.
Edward Dwurnik was an artist who listened to history and was sensitive to its oppressiveness. No wonder, then, that martial law affected him deeply.
He felt that, as a citizen, he had been betrayed, provoked and obliged to react. He almost immediately took up an individual fight, using paintings for this purpose. His retaliation was sophisticated and devoid of open aggression.
Dwurnik’s work from the martial law period is associated with the irritation of a man whose values have been violated. The artist confronted the viewer with those events and placed them in an oppressive situation.
In doing so, he forced them to feel the fear and disgust that many of us experienced at that time.

Our fairy-tale woman has her origins in a basilisk creature that loses its hard, scaly skin through the use of the cosmetic Medskina and transforms into a delicate yet strong and self-confident woman.
