Description
Janina Kraupe was a painter and printmaker, closely associated with the avant-garde of Kraków and the artistic group formed around the city’s School of Applied Arts during WWII. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, where she also became a lecturer until 1980. In 1957, she became a member of the Grupa Krakowska. Kraupe was interested in the culture of the Far East and Zen philosophy, her works having echoes of Surrealism. She began painting at the age of seventeen and had several teachers during her studies including Eugenius Eibisch and Konrad Srzednicki. Her fascination with the multi-fabric of human existence is captured in compositions exploring a constant state of passing time and phenomena, images and sensations. The fluidity of signs and symbols represented in Blue Suite, 1988 relates to metamorphosis, a notion that best captured her preoccupations, doubled by the freedom to use colour. Easily perceived, one of her strongest influences is music, through which she immersed herself in creating lyrical compositions with cosmic elements and colourful infiltrations. Her works are represented in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. and the Olomouc Museum of Art in Czechia.
