Andrzej Wróblewski Solo Show at Procuratie Vecchie, Venice
A monographic exhibition on Polish painter Andrzej Wróblewski (1927–1957) is on view at the Procuratie Vecchie in Venice until November 24. Curated by Ania Muszyńska and supported by the Starak Family Foundation, the show presents a selection of paintings and drawings spanning the artist's career—from early experiments to later politically charged works like 'Shadow of Hiroshima' and an image of Apollinaire. Wróblewski, who died at 29, is considered a major yet underrecognized figure of mid-20th-century European art. The foundation's president, Elżbieta Dzikowska, hopes the exhibition, held in Piazza San Marco, will secure Wróblewski's place in the global art canon.
