Greggy72027: Hi i noticed you put czworka on there i was wondering why that was on there and what it means? A rough translation of 'Czwórka' is 'The four' as in the four horses pulling the carriage in the painting. This word is no longer in use probably due to the advent of the automobile.

Digiart from a Polish patriot. Sorry that I don't remember his name.

Well done, Zetigrek :) Actually a good thread anyway. Actually, I was just curious: do Poles consider "Die Blechtrommel" by Günther Grass partly a Polish novel? I know it's a German book, but it takes place in Gdansk and Grass was born there too. >^..^< M-G (tiens)

no, we don't
GG was born in Gdansk but his mother was, well, she was Polish in some respect only. She was a Kaszub and they are the most genuine and archaic ethnic minority in Poland (funnily enough not recognised by Polish government - oficially)
For centuries they've spoken their own language (some say dialect) which is not Polish, but not German; they are pretty 'closed' to external influences (Polish or German in the past) but administratively they were and are Polish. They also opposed German occupation and being separated from Poland.

GG, because of his mother, is considered being a Kaszub.

somebody mentioned Yerka (must admit never heard of him before) so I think Wojciech Siudmak is worth mentionning here as well :)

Oh well, I was just curious about it. Those paintings you show remind me somehow of Salvador Dali...Especially the second and third one. >^..^< M-G (tiens)

SeanBM: wieslaw walkuski works are fantastic to say the least. According to this site[url=http://www.zwoje-scrolls.com/zwoje28/text01p.htm][/url] work below isnt by Walkulski but Wiktor Sadowski: There are also other works of Sadowski: Rafał Olbiński: Oh, and this one is special! I remember it hanging on a wall in my school ;) Andrzej Pągowski: Papierosy są do dupy, 1994.

This is strange because I just checked and this work below is isn't by Sadowski but by Wiktor Sadowski: according to this site

So there seems to be some confusion between these two artists, still though they are really great, top notch.
If we had avatars, I would use the boy with the bum for a face :)

SeanBM: So there seems to be some confusion between these two artists, still though they are really great, top notch. Yes, it seems u r right :) Danton and Pies andaluzyjski are certainly Wałkuski works (I've checked in other sources) My Fair Lady - I dont know Goya and Piknik pod wiszącą skałą - seems its Sadowski other Sadowski's works: http://www.poster.com.pl/sadowski.htm

(Well just joking, but it's a interesting thread.)

ROFL!!!!! That reminds me of a book I wrote for school when I was in the 2nd grade. We had to write a story about "sneetches" (characters in a book by Dr. Seuss) and draw pictures. My story was called the plain belly and the star belly sneetches. The star belly sneetches were richer and thought they were better than the "plain bellied ones" rofl. But later the plain belly sneetches get revenge. The pictures I drew looked very similar to that actually lol. Don't laugh at me, I am not kidding!!!

SeanBM:

stained glass Father the God (1897-1902, Stanisław Wyspiański)
This is in a church in the centre of Krakow.
It is huge and powerful, very exciting.

I'm very partial to this stained glass window as it is my absolutely favorite piece of art in Kraków. I always start my visit in my city by going to see it in the Franciscan church. It's called "Bóg Ojciec" (God the Father the Creator)

SeanBM:

How did Krakow end up with a Leonardo Da Vinci?

From what I remember it was bought by Prince Czartoryski by him while visiting Italy on the bankruptcy auction of one of the Italian's palazzos.

Does anyone know where I can get a smaller print of this piece (maybe like 25cm across or something like this) All I can find googling are very expensive prints. I had one in a room in an old flat in Warsaw (just a cheap poster version) and forgot to take it. Would live to find another. Thanks Dziewczyny na statku

Bumping to see if anyone knows where I can get the above art poster I posted. I am not able to find it Googling only expensive limited prints. The one I had was just a small poster in a frame.
