Jerzy Duda-Gracz (1941-2004)
Considered the most popular Polish post-1945 painter, Professor Jerzy Duda-Gracz embarked on a series of paintings providing visual interpretation of all the works by Fryderyk Chopin in 1999-2003.
The effect of his work was the unique artistic project entitled “Duda-Gracz to Chopin”, comprising 295 paintings. The series is composed of watercolour and tempera works (“Etudes”, “Preludes” and “Songs”), oils representing all the other musical forms, and shrouds that symbolise the lost works. As the artist himself claimed, all the paintings followed previous studies of the life and works of Chopin.
In its multimedia form, the “Duda-Gracz to Chopin” collection was hosted - as part of the Polish presentation - at the world Expo 2005 in Japan, and was made available to the public for the first time during the great exhibition in the Teatr Wielki - Polish National Opera in Warsaw on the occasion of the 15th Fryderyk Chopin International Piano Competition in 2005.
