“And Now Photography”. The exhibition of photographs from the collection of the Museum of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw

Being part of the academic milieu, the collection contains a large representation of student works – we present extant photographs from the studios of Tadeusz Jodłowski and Wojciech Zamecznik, where photography served as a complement or inspiration for graphic composition. The extensive archives of the studios of Jerzy Jarnuszkiewicz, Oskar Hansen and Grzegorz Kowalski illustrate the process of moving away from material sculpture towards a medium closer to the present day – photography. Among the exhibits there are works from various stages of education of many future artists who became famous. Many of them used photography in developing their creative work, like the artists from the Repassage Gallery circle.

A separate set consists of photographs presented in the second room, documenting projects of the Artistic and Research Workshops at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, intended for the City of Warsaw. This is photography that documents and at the same time creates a vision of the presented objects, innovative and interesting in themselves, designed by outstanding architects associated with the Academy. In the case of photographs by Jan Fleischmann, Marek Holzman, Zbigniew Kapuścik and Jerzy Sołtan the borderline between documentary and art photography is often hard to define.
