It all came out of me. Meetings with Polish folk artists.

This is an extraordinary book - the work of a lover and collector of Polish folk art, who has presented the work and profiles of twenty-four Polish folk artists.

For many years now, Hans Joachim Schauss has been traveling around Poland meeting, far from the tourist attractions, Polish folk artists who enjoy recognition beyond the borders of their homeland. He has a long-standing sincere friendship with many of them. The yield of these numerous meetings he has collected in this very personal book. The author leads us to his friends, sculptors, ceramists, painters - people of passion, shows in short impressions where and how they live, tells us about the methods of work, about their art. He then lets the artists themselves speak, and presents their tape-recorded confidences. They talk about the secrets of their art, their creative ideas, their handcraft techniques.
