YOUNG POLAND'S DAUGHTER

On the 130th anniversary of her birth, Maria features in the Young Poland (Młoda Polska) art exhibition at the Wlliam Morris Gallery in London.

An entire room is devoted to Maria’s paintings, including the Self-Portrait with Elf and the recently discovered “cosmic” portraits of Jan Pawlikowski.

The centrepiece of the whole exhibition is the model of the Villa Under the Firs, the Pawlikowski family home, where she lived in the 1920s. The model is surrounded by Maria’s previously unseen drawings of family members and even the chairs they sat in and the trousers they wore.

Especially for the exhibition, we have produced the English language world premiere recording of her pioneering radio play A Portrait of Doom (1937) (Złowrogi portret).
