The article describes the project of an exhibition which is being prepared on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of Bruno Schulz’s birth and 70th anniversary of his death. For the first time, Schulz’s art will be presented in the context of the Polish art between the world wars, placing it, according to Joanna Pollakówna, with the “painting of displaced reality”: the magic realism, grotesque, and expressionism. Consequently, it will be possible to situate Schulz’s artistic achievement in his times, and transgress the prevailing conventions of its interpretation. Adopting the perspective of the “displaced reality,” one may also reach beyond Schulz’s lifetime and search for his precursors and continuators. Thus, on the one hand, it is possible to make references to the symolism of the Young Poland, e.g., the works of Wojciech Weiss, or move forward to such artists as Władysław Hasior or Tadeusz Kantor. The exhibition has been divided into several parts corresponding to the titles of particular stories or graphic works by Schulz: “August,” “Night,” “Spring,” Treatise of the Tailor Dummies,” “The Book of Idolatry,” “Sanatorium under the Sign of an Hourglass,” and “Messiah.” Next to Schulz’s works, the show will include the works of Wojciech Weiss, Marek Włodarski, Bolesław Cybis, Ludwik Lille, Rafał Malczewski, Bronisław Wojciech Linke, Władysław Hasior, Jan Spychalski, Maria Magritte-Sielska, Józef Gielniak, Jan Lebenstein, and others.

The protagonists of this exhibition are not celebrated figures or representatives of elites, but anonymous inhabitants of villages and small towns, accidental passers-by, workers, peasants and young hippies. It was they who in the 1980s rose up from their knees, claimed their dignity and successfully struggled for freedom. Over a hundred photograms on display capture their lives: banal, dramatic, happy or nostalgic, suspended between conformism and heroism. We discover the same faces at weddings, dances, pilgrimages, May Holy Mass services, bus stops, on grey winter city streets, among people queuing up in mud to buy sausages and marching in a May Day parade or in crowds facing ZOMO (Motorized Militia) units in clouds of tear gas. The photograms correspond to more than 200 works of art: paintings, examples of the graphic arts and sculptures, which in an artistic abbreviation show the difficult two last decades of People’s Poland. This image of the “wonder years” would be incomplete without the accompanying sound track prepared by Marek Gaszyński and composed of the powerful rock music and blues of the 1970s and 1980s. For the young generation of the period, such music was a sui generis enclave of freedom and hope as well as friendship and cultural identification. It still resounds with youthful nonchalance and courage and, predominantly, with an immortal wish for constructing yet another republic of dreams, contrary to common sense and the depressing daily life of the “wonder years”.
