Mloda Polska, or Young Poland, embraced the integration of fine and applied arts, motivated by a desire to establish a distinctive national style at a time of political uncertainty. Patriotic values were expressed through a diverse visual language that was fuelled by national identity, but also looked beyond Poland to Western Europe and the influences of Impressionism, Expressionism, Symbolism, Art Nouveau, while also displaying parallels with the British Arts and Crafts Movement.
Young Poland's painting has been discussed within an international arena, but its decorative arts and architecture has yet to enjoy broad exposure.
Here, for the first time, the considerable achievements of the movement's applied artists will be discussed, both from a national and international perspective. Highlighting Young Poland's integration of fine and decorative arts, the movement's ideological, stylistic and formal commonalities with British Arts and Crafts, and the vision of Ruskin and Morris, will be drawn out to provide fascinating insights for Western and Eastern audiences alike.
Industry Reviews
'The spirit of Young Poland deserves the attention this book gives' - Art Quarterly magazine
"The book is well-researched and beautifully illustrated. With such diverse work within a single movement, the illustrations take on particular importance. It provides a helpful overview of the movement, its key people, places and ideas. Then, a series of seven studies of objects and crafts practices provides more in-depth perspectives." - Studio International
'Having presented a comprehensive overview of the ethos of Young Poland along with an account of its main protagonists, in the second half of the catalogue the editors provide an extensive visual display of the artefacts and designs produced by members of this movement... Taken together, these treasures along with the catalogue essays which provide an insightful overview of how they came to be made, serve to show how protean and culturally vital the Young Poland movement was.' - Pre-Raphaelite Review
