The activity of the sculptor August Zamoyski (1893-1970) in Poland was related to the Expressionist manifestations: of the Poznan Bunt Group and Cracow-Zakopane Formists. Zamoyski returned from Germany in 1918 with his wife, the dancer Rita Sacchetto, and came to live in Zakopane. That very year he took part in the Bunt exhibition in Poznan. The event brought about a scandal August Zamoyski was the main inspirer and protagonist of. The hosts of the Poznan Society of Friends of Fine Arts (TPSP) demanded for five works to be removed from the display for moral reasons (among them four authored by Zamoyski).The incident was used in a propaganda way by Jerzy Hulewicz who turned Zamoyski into an uncompromising rebel, opposing the family, social norms, and valid conventions. This motif was later eagerly exposed in his biography by the sculptor himself. However, the myth of Zamoyski, a rebel, has to be verified in view of the facts provided thanks to archival records supplied by the sculptor’s widow Hélène Peltier-Zamoyska and brought to Poland in 2007 by Aleksander Wat, as well as on the grounds of the information found in the correspondence retrieved from Jabłoń in 2006. They all show that Zamoyski never definitely severed with his family who supported him financially and provided with assistance when he was settling down in Poland.
