Boleslaw Biegas was one of a large number of Polish artists working in fin-de-siecle Paris. There he found a more kindred artistic environment in which to flourish. The conservative Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow had expelled Biegas in 1900; however, with strong support from the editor of Paris' Symbolist literary and artistic revue, La Plume, and membership in the Salon d'Automne, he firmly established himself among Paris' avant-garde and the artistic establishment.
Biegas also maintained ties to modernist groups in Poland, such as Sztuka, exhibiting regularly in Warsaw and Krakow. And as Poland fell under the rule of the Hapsburg's Austrian Empire, Biegas was part of a significant Polish contingency of artists who were exhibiting members of the Vienna Secession.
In addition to his solo shows in Paris, Biegas exhibited from 1912–27 at the Societe Nationale de Beaux-Arts. Even after Poland's independence after the Great War, Biegas continued to live in Paris. Artistically at home there, he chose to remain for the duration of his life.

Art Nouveau Bronze Sculpture 'Polospielers' by Fred Voelckerling, 1919
Located in Bochum, NRW
A German Expressionist bronze sculpture "Polospielers" (Polo Players). Signed and marked 'Fred Voelckerling, 1919' on the base. In very good condition, normal wear and patina. Dimensions: 45x28x36.5 cm The aesthetic composition is depicting two polo players on horseback, in full competition. The horses' movement has a special elegance and sobriety, and the finish is of remarkable sensitivity, the anatomical elements are distinguished, without the stylization becoming of a trivial naturalism. The polo players are caught in a moment of maximum tension, struggling to keep both the horses in check and the clubs in play. The whole ensemble exudes the emotion of movement and competition, being a perfect example for the expressionist sculpture.
