Both his grand historical visions and his small-scale historical illustrations generated great interest and shaped the imagination and historical consciousness of the Polish people.

5. Bosz Fangor. Malerei
Wojciech Fangor (1922–2015) was a Polish painter, graphic artist, and installation artist whose work significantly influenced the development of abstract art and Op-Art in Poland. Characteristic of Fangor's painting was his experimentation with color and form, resulting in compositions with strong optical effects and subtle shifts in perception.
In his later years, Fangor also dedicated himself to sacred art. He painted works for churches, and his sacred pieces were marked by abstraction combined with a spiritual dimension. Wojciech Fangor was a versatile artist, and his work evolved over time from geometric abstraction to Op-Art, experiments with interactivity, and a return to cosmic themes. His works are held in the collections of numerous museums and galleries around the world. This mini-album showcases the most important works of the artist from various periods of his creative output.
6. Bosz Nowosielski. Malerei
Jerzy Nowosielski – an outstanding painter and illustrator. From a young age, he was fascinated by the Byzantine rite, which is why many of his works reflect the influence of iconography. He created hundreds of paintings, prints, drawings, and polychromes for Orthodox and church buildings. The artist explored a wide range of themes, from sacred motifs to social and abstract scenes. He was the creator of a new genre of painting – the "secular icon." Some of his most famous works include: The Battle of Addis Ababa, The Swimmers, The Cellist, The Mystery of the Fiancée, The Villa of Mysteries, Girl on the Boat, and The Tibetan Beach.
7. Bosz Kunst in der Zeit der Volksrepublik Polen (218075)
"Art in the People's Republic of Poland" is a book that addresses fundamental questions of Polish art from 1945 to 1989. It presents the creative process in the context of the communist era, initially under the yoke of socialist realism and later under the constraints of censorship, as well as possibilities for overcoming systemic limitations, including through political engagement or the boycott of imposed programs. The book is divided into several chapters dedicated to the most important artistic phenomena and well-known works: war art, socialist realist architecture, the Krakow School of Graphic Arts, the Polish Poster School, monumental sculpture, murals and neon signs, applied arts and design, the Polish Textile School, and more. Illustrations from the private collections of artists, collectors, and galleries provide an interesting and important complement. "Art in the People's Republic of Poland" is an excellent choice for both artists and those who wish to better understand the communist era from the perspective of the art created during that time.
