"Mela Muter has admirably served Polish painting through the most conscious assertion of her own personality imaginable "[...] She was, above all, one of those strong individuals, one of the most outstanding explorers of national art. To this alone she owes the fact that she is counted among the "École de Paris." Thanks to France, she became simultaneously an outstanding representative of 'Art vivant' and a great Polish painter [...]."
