The album „Stanisław Wejman” presents the work of one of Poland's most outstanding contemporary printmakers, consistently developing his own language in intaglio techniques.
The album „Stanisław Wejman” presents the work of one of the most outstanding contemporary Polish graphic artists, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, a long-time teacher and co-founder of the Kraków school of graphic art.
One of the most important publications in the field of artistic printmaking in recent years, showing a cross-section of the artist's oeuvre - from his early realisations to his most recent series. The album reveals Wejman's world based on irony, intellectual play and clear references to literature and music, which are the essential context of his work.
The publication includes over 300 prints, mainly etchings, creating one of the most complete presentations of the artist's oeuvre. Also shown for the first time are „By-products” and packaging-related realisations, including cigarette boxes, an important but rarely exposed area of his work.
The uniqueness of the album is determined by its scope and the way in which the subject is covered. The comprehensive and consistent study shows the artist's thinking, his recurring motifs and the development of his work over the years. As a result, the publication also has a documentary character.
It is both an orderly record of the artist's many years of work and an invitation to an attentive contact with printmaking as a demanding medium that operates with abbreviation, metaphor and the tension of meanings.
