Cyprian Norwid. Katalog prac plastycznych, t. V: Prace luźne 3

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, seven-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 fifth volume of the catalogue contains the third, and at the same time last part of the chapter: Loose works, containing the remaining drawings and watercolors (not dated) and works in other techniques: graphics, oil paintings and sculptures. Each catalogue item contains complete information on the work, along with its complete bibliography and a color illustration.
