The vernisage that crowns the Antoni Myśliwiec’s 40 years’ artistic work
“The photographs displayed at the exhibition portray the general condition of the arts of photography in the era of new media. Antoni Myśliwiec, contrary to his faithfulness to tradition has gradually become an outsider who is on the quest for the form and content. He does it with regards to technology and thus preserves a harmony with his own sensitivity and personal creation.” – this is how Jan Główka PhD, the Kielce History Museum Director encourages us to see the exhibition.

The vernisage takes place on 16th October at 6 p.m. in the Kielce History Museum, 4 Leonarda street.

I take a picture of what my imagination has filtered rather than of the actual state of things – hold Antoni Myśliwiec’s artistic credo.
