The year 1972 was also the time when Stefan Popławski’s (a graduate of Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań) piece was created. His simple Self-portrait is a very important interpretation, made in tapestry (162 x 90 cm), of a photograph from a family album. The artist frequently used famous documentary and historical pictures, as well as stills from the movies made by distinguished directors, and press photos. He transformed these selected “films of reality” into cycles: a series of photography reconstructions, movie “pictures,” old performances (Polish banners) and contemporary events. these works got the impact force of a monumentalized poster. In 1973, Magdalena Abakanowicz (at that time, a tutor in the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań) copied in tapestry a first-page newspaper photograph, presenting the president of Poland, Edward Gierek, as he visited the “vegetable valley” in central Poland. In 1975, Anna Bednarczuk “translated into tapestry” the pioneer photographs by Eadweard Muybridge (from 1872) – it was the first record of the sequence of movements of a galloping horse. After the “Tapestry of Poznań” exhibition in 1979, a new term, introduced by Irena Huml, was coined: ‘foto-medium art.’
Photography practices in tapestry work quickly ceased to be a domain of just one group, although it was still Poznań that had the most prominent artists, and new faces kept flooding in, to mention such names as Andrzej Banachowicz, Alicja Biegaj, Małgorzata Hubert, Anna Nowak-Jóźwiak, Dorota Wróbel. In Cracow, Małgorzata Buczek and Wojciech Jaskółka successfully employed photo strategies, whereas in Zakopane, Marta Gąsienica-Szostak produced a series of relief self-portraits fractured into modules. In Łódź, Aleksandra Mańczak worked with landscape photography and its reflection on tapestry.

The tapestry is inscribed with woven ‘Salvador Dalí’ lower right Genre: Surrealism Subject: people, architecture rendering Medium: textile Salvador Dali (Spanish, 1904-1989) Salvador Dali is considered as the greatest original artist of the surrealist art movement and one of the greatest masters of art of the twentieth century. Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him. In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. He established himself as the principal figure of a group of surrealist artists grouped around Andre Breton, who was something like the theoretical "schoolmaster" of surrealism. Years later Breton turned away from Dali accusing him of support of fascism, excessive self-presentation and financial greediness. By 1929 Dali had found his personal style that should make him famous - the world of the unconscious that is recalled during our dreams. The surrealist theory is based on the theories of the psychologist Dr. Sigmund Freud. Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches...Category
