Young Poland (jan 1, 1890 – jan 1, 1918)

Description:

Young Poland (Polish: Młoda Polska) was a modernist period in Polish visual arts, literature and music, covering roughly the years between 1890 and 1918. It was a result of strong aesthetic opposition to the earlier ideas of Positivism which followed the suppression of the 1863 January Uprising against the occupying army of Imperial Russia. Młoda Polska promoted trends of decadence, neo-romanticism, symbolism, impressionism and art nouveau.[1]

Many of the exhibitions were held at the Palace of Art, also known as "Secession" (Secesja), headquarters of the Kraków Society of Friends of Fine Arts, in Krakow Old Town.[2]
