Jan STYKA (1858-1925) Tribute to Jan Matejko... - Lot 8 - Ader
Jan STYKA (1858-1925) Tribute to Jan Matejko (project of a decor?) Study representing characters from Jan Matejko's works surrounding his bust (Wernyhora, Batory, Zygmunt III Waza, Wit Stwosz, Skarga, Stanczyk, Rejtan, Kopernik...). Graphite. Annotated. 42 x 51,8 cm In 1883, Jan Styka was one of the main organizers of the jubilee of Jan Matejko, his teacher. This drawing may have been used in the preparations for this event. (see: C. Czaplinski, Saga Rodu Stykow, p. 12). W 1883 Jan Styka był jednym z głównych organizatorów jubileuszu Jana Matejki. Być może rysunek ten jest projektem dekoracji tego wydarzenia. [sztuka polska, kolekcja Paula Schlockoff]] Paul Schlockoff's Styka - lots 6 to 27 The rich correspondence presented in lot 26 testifies to the close relationship that Adam Styka maintained with Paul Schlockoff, a family friend. After emigrating to the United States in the late 1940s, Adam entrusted him with the management of his Parisian affairs. He also exchanges on his daily life and the members of his family. The set we are dispersing has since remained in Paul Schlockoff's family. Through these drawings and paintings, we discover the father, Jan Styka, a faithful student of Jan Matejko. In his work, he often evokes the martyred and torn Poland of the 19th century. He calls upon his great classical culture, his knowledge of mythology and religion. The works of Tadé and Adam, who received a solid education from their father, belong to a new generation, that of freedom and openness to the world. Adam's letters allow us to better understand the destiny of these men who devoted their lives to art without ever forgetting their homeland, even far from its borders.
