A lecture in the series "Young Poland's Revolution" organized by the Art Tranfser Foundation.
The work of Konrad Krzyżanowski is one of the most interesting Polish examples of the reception of early Expressionism. His unparalleled command of the painterly gesture, his ability to build dramatic tension, great compositional dexterity and sensitivity to color mean that his paintings still have a powerful effect on viewers despite the passage of time.
