MATEJKO

The personality of the artist

Creativity

Form and style

"(...)Therefore, the reader will find in this book neither a detailed biography of the artist, nor an enumeration of all his works, nor a description of their content, nor a school analysis of individual works. I have set myself a different task: on the basis of a series of previous analyses, I have tried to give the reader, in the final result, only a synthetically developed picture of Matejko's creative personality against the background of the epoch and his contemporary European art, and thus characterize his art by way of explaining its genesis, defining the means of expression and the hallmarks of style["excerpt from the author's preface.]
