The volume is dedicated to the individual research part of Stanisław Wyspiański's journey through Pogórze, which the artist began on August 10, 1889 in Grybów and ended on September 5, 1889 in Tarnów. During this trip, he visited picturesque towns such as Krużlowa Wyżna, Mogilno, Grybów, Korzenna, Lipnica Wielka, Ptaszkowa, Królowa Górna, Kamionka Wielka, Mystków, Nawojowa, Żeleźnikowa Wielka, Stary Sącz, Stadła, Podegrodzie, Naszacowice, Tarnów, Zawada and Łęki Górne. Each of these locations was an inspiration for his work, and the sketches made en plein air are an invaluable testimony to his artistic development.

This publication is the result of research and editorial work that made it possible to reunite the two folders of field drawings - the main and the auxiliary - kept in various museum collections. Long considered lost during World War II, these sketchbooks now return to show the richness and diversity of Wyspiański's talent. This edition is a unique opportunity to explore his artistic workshop and understand the context of the creation of his works.

"Stanisław Wyspiański's Sketchbooks" is not only a collection of drawings, but also a fascinating story about traveling, searching for inspiration and discovering beauty in the world around us. It is a must-read for all lovers of art, history and Polish culture. Let yourself be carried away on a journey in the footsteps of Wyspiański and rediscover his genius.
