The figures of ancient heroes, muses, titans undergo a complex process of deconstruction. Bodies deprived of arms, cracked torsos, crushed gigantic heads remind us of the archaeological relicts whose spell one cannot easily escape.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"block_2201b98838ccd6b925da98cfd6a0fb16\">\n    \n    <div class=\"height48\"><\/div>\n\n    \n    \n    <div class=\"row\">\n\n        <div class=\"col-xxl-7 col-xl-7 col-lg-7 col-md-12 col-sm-12 right_sec_entry\">\n            <div class=\"entry_text1\">\n                <!--<div class=\"entry_text1_img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mck.krakow.pl\/wp-content\/themes\/mck\/images\/Frame 3323.png\"\n                        alt=\"\"><\/div>-->\n                Beauty what does this word mean today? It has never been cheaper than nowadays, when beauty is anything you like. But there is still a certain kind of beauty whose model is inscribed in us, in the proportions, harmony, and perfection of our bodies. I think each of us understands this beauty. For years, Igor Mitoraj has been pursuing the perfection of rendering the human figure.
