Willmann. Opus Magnum
Dec 22 - Oct 4 2020
ul. Wystawowa 1
The exhibition showcases around 100 paintings which constitute almost one-third of the surviving body of work by that artist, among them those depicting mythological and religious scenes, portraits and landscapes. After more than 75 years the famous cycle The Martyrdom of the Apostles, which in the years following the war was housed in various churches in Warsaw, has been reunited and presented in Lower Silesia. It is exhibited in the modern space of the Four Domes Pavilion Museum of Contemporary Art – a new branch of the National Museum in Wrocław which was opened in 2016.
To show Willmann’s work in this unique scenography, with the use of modern presentation techniques and the possibilities offered by the astounding spaces of the Four Domes Pavilion poses not only an extraordinary challenge for museum experts, but is above all an attempt to pay spectacular tribute to the most distinguished artist who has ever lived and worked in Silesia.
