The Artist and the Model – a Multithreaded Relation. Who Are the People from the Portraits in the Studio Storerooms of the 20th and the 21st Century?
The Studio Storerooms brim with portraits. The collection includes busts of Marshal Józef Piłsudski and portraits of many a great Warsaw's intellectual: Stefan Jaracz, Ryszard Danek, Irena Lorentz, among other figures. Also less refined figures often proved to be models worth portraying – artists' everyday companions, such as Franka – August Zamoyski's house maid, immortalised by the sculptor in a full-figure nude statue. Besides real people, there is also the fictitious character of Janosik by Antoni Kenar. Friday's tour of the Storerooms offers a chance to observe how the kind of relation with models influences the way artists chooses to portray them. We will also investigate the changes that the sculptors' approach to models underwent throughout history.
