APC Art Talk
February, 2020
Peter DeWeerdt, accomplished painter and Polish Club member, gave a talk to the club about Polish art at the end of February. It began with a general overview of Polish art and its effect on the culture, and then focused on Jan Matejko, the most famous Polish Painter of the 19th century. Matejko (1838- 1893) lived his whole life in Krakow and specialized in historical paintings, most notably about political and military events, making his work extremely important for Polish culture.
