The exhibition of paintings from the collection of Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw prepared for the National Forum of Music in Wrocław includes works by artists using various languages ​​of abstraction, from the 1960s to the beginning of the 21st century.

This cross-sectional exhibition of Polish 20th and 21st century painting includes a wide range of works by outstanding Polish artists of different generations — representatives of the key currents of art history and contemporary artistic trends. The exhibition features, among others, contemporary classics, artists representing conceptual attitudes, educators and experimenters, as well as artistic personalities that are worth reminding to the broader audience, who are now relegated to the sidelines of art history.

This exhibition of the work of Rajmund Ziemski is of a retrospective nature. Its title is Landscape 1953–2005. For over 50 years the artist gave his paintings the title Landscape, embellished usually just with a number and the year. The exhibition recalls the whole of the artist’s oeuvre, showing the many changes in his work, striving always for the best expression of his emotions and fears in the language of painting which he used with a great sense of mastery and freedom. Thus, on show will be paintings from the 50s up until 2005, both the earlier works to whose exquisite effects of colour and texture he owed his popularity, and later works that are much less well-known.
