Ripe for Art: Pictorialists, Chroniclers, Conceptualists. Polish Landscape Photography

Małgorzata Jędrzejczyk, PhD gave a lecture about the works of 20th century photographers. The analysis of specific works enabled the participants to follow the changing relationships between man and nature, and to learn about the history of photography.

The lecture presented photographs of Polish cities by Jan Bułhak, colourful Krakow landscapes by Tadeusz Rząca, industrial vistas by Fortunata Obrąpalska, Jerzy Lewczyński’s Silesian landscapes, and Janusz Bąkowski’s experimental photographs.

The lecture accompanied the exhibition “Homing. Włodzimierz Puchalski” to be presented at the ICC Gallery from 22 July.

The event was held at 11 am on 8 July in the Ravens Room at the ICC. Participation was free.

The lecture was transmitted via Zoom.
