The book presents the work of 44 artists who have won the Jan Cybis Prize in 1973–2017 — and includes interviews and author’s statements by painters: new interviews with almost all the living artists, as well as reprints of their earlier statements, also in a literary form. The presentations of deceased artists are based on available archival material — interviews published in the press, 
exhibition catalogues, books and artists’ texts — largely collected in the Zachęta documentation section. Talks conducted by Krystyna Czerni, most of them previously unpublished, constitute a separate set. The leitmotif of the texts focuses on issues related to painting, the importance of this medium and crossing its borders, the painter’s everyday work and fnally, the signifcance of 
the Award, as well as the evaluation of Jan Cybis’ role in Polish post-war artistic life. The texts are accompanied by a wide selection of reproductions of the winning artists’ works.
