Cyprian Norwid. Katalog prac plastycznych, t. VI

The publication is the first complete study in the form of an academic catalogue of the artistic works by Cyprian Norwid (1821–1883), one of the most outstanding authors in the history of Polish culture. The complete, eight-volume edition of the catalogue will include all that was drawn, painted or created in any other technique, that is, it includes drawings, watercolors, paintings and oil studies as well as graphic works, designs for sculptures and medallic works. Apart from the works that have been preserved, also ones that are considered lost, but were published during the artist’s life or after his death, as well as works we only know by their titles or from even minor mentions will be included. The catalogue will include both works with indisputable artistic value and rough sketches like notes in the form of drawings; and also, apart from loose compositions – works drawn on pages of sketchbooks and albums; moreover, drawings that are found in Norwid’s artistic and journalistic texts, in his letters and notes. The sixth volume of the catalogue presents the first part of the lost art work of Cyprian Norwid. It includes works coming from his authorial albums, sketchbooks, and the first part of his drawings and watercolours located once in albums belonging to different owners. Each catalogue item includes all the information about the said objects in question that have been collected from source materials and publications, together with a bibliography. Wherever possible the description of the work is accompanied by photography or reproduction.
