Zachęta – National Gallery of Art invites you to visit the exhibition of photos from the period of communist Poland. Authors of pictures: Romuald Broniarek, Aleksander Jałosiński, Bogdan Łopieński, Jan Morek, Wojciech Plewiński, Tadeusz Rolke. These six photographers – the oldest of them born in 1928, the youngest in 1940 – spent most of their professional lives in communist Poland.

All of them worked for official presstitles. This exhibition of photographs, however, is an unofficial portrait of those times. The photos do not show government ceremonies, hierarchically framed heads of state or the heroes of propaganda reports. The people presented in the photographs are not at work: they are at leisure, using their time freely.
The exhibition will be open until September 22.
