Until April 12, Andrzej Wróblewski and Maria Jarema’s work is on view at the “Substantial Realism” exhibition at Spectra Art Space. Art critic Mieczysław Porębski and artist Tadeusz Kantor first wrote on the concept of “substantial realism” in the 1946 manifesto “Pro domu sua”. The formula of this realism allowed to convey abstract and ambiguous themes, but also took into account the achievements of the avant-garde. Wróblewski and Jarema are perceived as artists working in this genre. A great advantage of the exhibition is that it shows, for the first time, several of Wróblewski’s paintings known so far only from black and white reproductions created by the artist himself, e.g. a study of women with children entitled Mothers’ Martyrdom. For the first time after more than two decades one can also see a painting from the Executions series, the 1949 Wedding Photograph, Married Couple with a Bouquet. Every first Saturday of the month at 11.00 visitors can take part in curatorial tours of the exhibition and the Anna and Jerzy Starak’s collection.

Spectra Art Space, Warsaw, Bobrowiecka 6
The exhibition is open from 19.12.2019 to 14.04.2020, Monday-Friday 16-18, Saturday-Sunday 11-18
