Found favourite Polish artists

11/October/2024 in Kraków

This week has been strangely fruitful
exceptionally fruitful

By "fruitful",
I meant,
I bumped into several Polish paintings & its painters,
that I immediately found attractive


―Stanisław Wyspiański(スタニスワフ・ヴィスピャンスキ)

Last year
I saw one impressive wall painting in Kraków

Last week
I saw several nice paintings in the museum

And only this week
I got to know it's all made by the same person

Stanisław Wyspiański seemed a multi-talented artist and had several titles
as in
painter/poet/playwright/interior, furniture designer

which obviously reminds me of Mishima, who also had several titles
as in
novelist/poet/playwright/film director/actor/model/activist/bodybuilder(?)


―Olga Boznańska(オルガ・ボズナンスカ)

Everyone who visits the National Museum in Kraków is "forced" to see her signature work, because it's exhibited exactly in front of the entrance

"Girl with Chrysanthemums/Dziewczynka z chryzantemami"

Chrysanthemums is the national flower of my country, which brings me some undeniable familiarity with the painting

And this week
I saw a couple of other works of Olga Boznańska & was drawn to them


―Tamara Łempicka(タマラ・ウェンピツカ)

Her paintings must be very familiar with many people

Only this week, I got to know she was the own who made it

And what blew my mind was
her look

Her visual

And my dogmatic belief became even more dogmatic;

"Artists have to be as attractive look as their works"

In other words,
in my belief,
artists have to be narcissistic,
have to be self-absorbed,
have to be self-intoxicated

Creating artworks & making it to the public
is
already narcissistic enough

Then
why don't they become narcissistic with their own visual?
