- The Young Poland (Młoda Polska) movement emerged in the 1890s in response to Poland's non-existence for almost a century, divided between Russia, Austria and Prussia. The movement embraced an unprecedented flourishing of applied arts and the revival of crafts, drawing inspiration from nature, history, folk traditions and craftsmanship to express a shared national identity.
This short film introduces the international research project exploring the affinities between the British Arts and Crafts and Young Poland movements. Find out more by reading the book of the project, published December 2020, and visiting the major exhibition at the William Morris Gallery in autumn 2021.
The project is a collaboration between the William Morris Gallery and the National Museum in Kraków in association with Lund Humphries and the Polish Cultural Institute, London. The project is Co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage within the framework of the Inspiring Culture Program.
This is so exciting! Thank you for creating this! I am an art student and i adore the work of William Morris and the Arts and Craft Movement. It is lovely to see parallels. Thank you for creating awareness on this fascinating topic.
Excellent drawing. Amazing👍👍👍
All of this is new to me. And compels me to visit Poland one day soon. Nice to learn about the joys of material culture that Poland shares with the UK, and other Balkan countries etc... Maria's work seems the most pronounced somehow. I wonder if there is any cross pollination with the Secessionists of Vienna? BTW does anyone know if there are examples of 'Young Poland' in the Vilna/Vilnius region? It seems like the vernacular origins shown here, look very similar to those in Zakopane.
Dear @michaeldavisburchat8721
Yes, there seems to have been some influence from the Secessionists of Vienna on the Young Poland Movement. In terms of Young Poland in the Vilnius region, the movement was strongly associated with the city of Krakow, so we are not sure if there are any examples in Vilnius. But this book may be of interest to you and it might be useful to contact the curator of the Young Poland exhibition, Dr Julia Griffin, who would be the best person to answer your question.

We hope you are able to visit Poland one day and see some of the art of the Young Poland Movement.
@@polishculturalinstituteinl7484 Thanks for getting back to me. That is so sweet. I will certainly follow up on your recommendation. I look forward to knowing this genre of art, and discovering if it ever had much influence on the culture and imagination of Poland.
Wyspianski's surname shows strange in time stamps...
Good video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!
