Event Description
Escapes spans four decades of Polish art created under communist rule. As the country was being redefined socially and politically, artists were seeking new visions. At times their creativity was greatly restricted by the state while at other times, they found ways to express their opposition. Drawn primarily from the Bohdan “Bo” W. Oppenheim and Sylwestrowicz Collection as well as the holdings of the Center of the Study of Political Graphics and the Warszawa Restaurant, the exhibition includes paintings, drawings, sculptures, and posters.

Featuring posters from the archives of CSPG
