See pieces like it you can buyAxentowicz’s exhibition poster for the second show of the Sztuka ("Art") Society, the group that anchored Young Poland’s visual arts wing. Sztuka gathered Kraków’s Young Poland painters under one banner; Axentowicz’s portraiture brought a softer, Symbolist line to the movement’s otherwise folk-inflected graphic language. A single portrait bust rendered with painterly softness rare in the movement’s harder-edged theater posters. The society, introduced by its gentlest hand.
