An exhibition of the master’s drawings and the accompanying presentation of a book are an incredible opportunity to get to know this important, but often underappreciated part of the work of Tadeusz Kantor. The exhibition featured the first drawing attempts of Kantor from his school notebooks, as well as works from successive periods of his activity, until the last, fully mature and unique works.

Accompanying the exhibition were film screenings and a meeting with Lech Stangret, the author of the book TADEUSZ KANTOR. DRAWING.
