Description

Teresa Rudowicz was one of the most distinct personalities in the Krakow artistic community, as well as a co-founder and member of the Krakow Group. Rudowicz's earliest works are in the mediums of watercolour and photomontage, while her later works become more abstract and metaphorical. In the 1950s and 1960s, she began to create collages, in which she combined small non-artistic "ready-made objects" with a painterly approach; this represents the most prominent part of her oeuvre. Teresa Rudowicz’s works have been part of many exhibitions and collections in Poland and abroad, such as the Museum of Modern Art, New York, USA; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; Gallery Lambert, Paris, France; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, France; Mumok, Vienna, Austria; Galeria Nationale d’Arte Moderna, Rome, Italy; Museum Boijmans van Beuingen, Rotterdam, Netherlands;  Alcoa Collection of Contemporary Art, Pittsburg, USA; Palace of Arts, Krakow; Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw, Poland; National Museum, Warsaw, Poland; Museum of Art, Łódź; Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw, Poland; The Starak Family Foundation, and many others. 

 

Early in her career, Teresa Rudowicz’s artistic practice was concerned with informal abstraction, while beginning in the 1960’s, she started creating her most characteristic collages, which are sometimes compared to the similar artistic currents like matter or assemblages. Often developing her own techniques, she takes the matter to another level of abstraction signaling the deformations of reality, as is the case with the work Kompozycja 60/63. Her composition is dynamic and unrestricted and freely breaks all the rules of the painted surface. Although at first glance her dramatic distortion might arouse resistance, it is important to realize that in the context of her artistic practice this deliberate, explicit reduction to abstraction is aimed at exposing the "unspoken," at breaking the boundaries, limitations and standards that are usually attached to the medium of painting.
