Georg Baselitz, Max Beckmann, Joseph Beuys, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Oskar Kokoschka August Macke, Oskar Schlemmer – just a few artists whose works document an image of a man from modern to contemporary times.

Over a hundred paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures and photographers by the most renowned artists of the 20th century and from the collection of the Deutsche Bank encouraged everyone to reflect on the human nature and the meaning of life.

Moreover, they also gave voice to one’s insatiable desire to discover one’s identity. “It needs to be said that the artists behind the exhibited works are rarely to be exhibited and seen in Poland. All the emotions, doubts and inquiries that descend upon us while visiting the exhibition are a proof of a need for many more (and more frequent) exhibitions of the kind. Not only in the Krakow-based International Cultural Centre.” [Joanna Gumula, Gazeta Antykwaryczna, 2004]
