This is the exhibition I wrote about in the thread ' What Europeans think about America and vice-versa'. It was wonderful to be there, to meet Piotr again. To see his drawings again, and to see that he continues to exhibit, and thus exist as an artist. That is important for an artist, to continue, and to keep having exhibitions. Small, large, big or extra large doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that the drawings, paintings or photographs (whatever the artists has made and shows to his audience) are exhibited, and that the artist can put the exhibition on his CV. I liked Piotr's exhibition, because it showed a lot of his graphical penicl drawings of Industrial, Arnhem Rhine river landscapes. And he had a map/file next to the drawings that hang on the walls. A Dutch visitor, who knows Piotr very well, called him a nomad. And that is a good element of Piotr, he works and creates things in his home city of Wrocław, but he also continues to travel and work abroad. His foreign exhibitions in the Netherlands, Germany and Scotland, Great-Britian ( Edinburgh) through the years. The Polish flag is hung in The Hague, by one of the owners of Wijn & Kunst (Wine & Art) in the Weimarstreet in The Hague, where the exhibition of Piotr Gardecki is.Piotr Gardecki with Edwin van Velzen and Paul van der Donk, the owners of the wine store, Wijn & Kunst (Wine and art) in The Hague.Piotr Gardecki's graphical drawings on the floor before the exhibition openedHis Polish girlfriend (partner) from Wrocław cleans the works before they are hung on the wall for the exhibitionPjotr looks satisfied with the results

Piotr, yes, I remember talking about Piotr in the past. I miss these types of casual conversations with young people interested in art! Wine and ARt is a great combination

To add to the excellent reply of Jaga, yes, I do agree. Art and Music are the universal language that brings together most all people into a common relationship of appreciation of the arts. Even though the spoken language may differ, the common interest is the same, appreciation and enjoyment.
Thank you for presenting.
Karl

Piotr, yes, I remember talking about Piotr in the past. I miss these types of casual conversations with young people interested in art! Wine and ARt is a great combination Dear Jaga, I understand that you miss these kind of cultural conversations with young people. Because it is typical of the larger Polish cities and especially Krakow, one of the most cultural cities of Poland. The Old Polish capital and centre of fine art (painting, sculpture, photography, graphical art), graphical design, theatre, music, art galleries, a very fine art academy, and nice old and new art museums. I think that Poland might be even more cultural and contemporary and old art based than the Netherlands, since it has so many large cities and many towns. And culture is an important part of Polish identity. Cheers, Pieter

Pieter, not sure about this wine symbol and how much art is it.
By the way, I am teaching Ela Polish from book which was published 20 years ago. It has lots of phrases related to alcohol, beer, vodka and smoking cigarettes. It has all these words about ashtray etc... and nothing about the cellphones. I wonder how times changed. Now, almost nobody smokes and drinking is also not that heavy like in the past.
Ela usually omits these words but there are just too many....

Dear Jaga, It is just a Polish red wine and has probably nothing to do with art. These are art salesmen in The Hague. Next to selling wine they like to have exhibitions in their wine store. But wine is their first and main business. Their speciality is Centra-, Eastern- and Southern-European wines. Hungarian, Slovakian, Rumanian, Bulgarian, Yugoslavian (Serb, Macedonian), Czech and also Polish wines, next to Chillian, French, Italian and Portugese wines. But their focus is really Eastern- and Central-European wines. I remember that Hungarian red wines are very good, a funny name for them was ' Bulls blood'. This Polish red wine is from a Polish wine farm and wine manufacturer. It is not an art wine. Maybe wine is a new branch in Poland? Or where there Polish wines before? Maybe due to climate changes wines are more and more produced in the North. There are nowadays even excellent Dutch wines. KLM (a partner of Air France) for instance serves excellent Dutch white wine from the Province of Zeeland (the Dutch province with the most sun). news.klm.com/klm-start-from-holland-food-wine-festival-enCheers, Pieter
