The Museum of the Zakopane Style at Koliba villa
Zakopane, ul. Kościeliska 18
This small exhibition presents the work of two photographers remembered for their outdoor nude studies: Georges Louis Arlaud (1869-1944), a photographer from Geneva, remembered for the series that he took in the South of France that were printed as photogravures in "Vingt Études de Nu en Plein Air" (Paris, Horos Editions, 1920) and Marcel Meys (1885-1972), a Parisian painter, known for his nude and autochromes as well, who took female figures inhabiting the natural landscape with their own nude body. Two examples of Pictorialism's emphasis on nature and the nude often found expression in the fusion of both, with the image of a nude female figure in an idyllic natural setting.
