In response to the country\u2019s political nonbeing, Young Poland artists sought to create a new national art based on folk traditions, exploring cultural identity. \u201cIn his portraits, Wyspianski combines a bold line with ornamental colour to emphasise the inner drive and psychology of his models, many of whom were associated with Young Poland\u201d, says Alison Smith, curator of Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski: Portraits exhibition. \nMaternity by Stanis\u0142aw Wyspia\u0144ski, 1905.
