Józef ChełmońskiIndian Summer

year of creation: 1875
type: oil on canva
size: 119,7x156,5 cm
place: Muzeum Narodowe, Warsaw

Today, "Indian Summer" is a painting whose reproductions are seen in Poland almost as often as Van Gogh's famous sunflowers. Meanwhile, at the time of its premiere in Warsaw's Zachęta Gallery in 1875, the painting provoked outrage. The public accuses the artist of portraying a simple peasant woman "with coarse features," that her outfit is not glamorous enough, and to top it all off, the model has dirty feet. Chelmonski saw something quite different in the work: truth, austerity of vision, captivating youth and simple pleasure. Chelmonski is considered one of the most talented realist painters of the 19th century.

Three-dimensional depth of image

Screw Art is made up of thousands of screws which, screwed close together into a fir board but at different depths, create an extraordinary three-dimensional sculptural relief. Each of the 70,000 screw heads becomes a tiny steel canvas for the artists. The multitude of colours, clever design, fascinating chiaroscuro, and masterful precision give the works, inspired by the works of the great masters, a new dimension. Industrial screws turn out to be a graceful material in the hands of the young talents, and the steel rawness is transformed into delicate paintings.
