Borysław. Świt publishes an article “Z wystawy obrazów” (From the Exhibition of Paintings), written by Michał Friedländer, signed with his pen name Al. Stewe, and devoted to, among other things, the artwork by Bruno Schulz.
The review refers to a collective exhibition organised in May 1921* in the auditorium of the secondary school in Drogobych*, where Schulz’s works were presented. According to the columnist of Chwila and educator Michał Friedländer*, Schulz’s graphics and drawings are distinguished by “amazing beauty”. Some titles are mentioned: a pencil picture Omphale, with “a beautiful, Titian-like line of a girl’s body and a mysterious, almost palpable atmosphere of the boudoir”, as well as a colourful painting Girls, with a background filled with “knights and clouds from fairy tales, presumably floating in the thoughts of little girls”. The reviewer states that “Schulz has a remarkable future ahead of him, if he deepens and broadens the range of themes”. He observes that this artist is “so different from others, so possessed with the visions of his own unbridled fantasy, and such an extraordinary phenomenon in the contemporary Polish art that he is standing completely alone at this very exhibition, and among other contemporary painters”.
