edition sold outA publication devoted to the work of Julian Fałat. This eminent painter and reformer of art education lived and created in Bystra, not far from Bielsko-Biała. Today a museum devoted to the artist is located here. The album presents works from its collections. Jerzy Madeyski's introduction acquaints the reader with the artis's unusual life and personality. The book design effectively presents the works, and the high-quality printing lets the reader catch the smallest brush strokes, appreciate the texture of the picture surface, and submit to the rare beauty of this art.
"Buffi Press of Bielsko-Biała has honored the painter with an edition embracing Poland's largest collection of his works, from the museum in Bielsko-Biała. The promotion of this album, organized in Fałat's former home, gave a good start to the events prepared on the 150th birthday of the virtuoso of the winter landscape."
