From the publisher's description:Przemyslaw Trzeciak, known to readers from his book "A Thousand Mysteries of Architecture", has this time attempted to compile a popular dictionary of Polish art.
In thealphabetically arranged over two hundred and fifty entries, the author has included the history of our painting, sculpture, graphics and artistic craftsmanship over a thousand years.
Profiles of artists, discussions of outstanding works of art, characteristics of periods and style phenomena, artistic groups, etc.. They make up a rich panorama of Poland's artistic achievements.
The author devotes much space to works of artistic craftsmanship, mostly anonymous, little known to lovers of fine arts. Carefully selected more than 450 illustrations and many authentic statements of artists and critics about art are valuable additions to the text.
Those interested will find bibliographical hints, enabling them to become more familiar with particular topics. The book also comes with indexes, making it easier to reach the relevant entries, and a glossary of lesser-known terms.
