WYSTAWA NIEMIECKA W WARSZAWIE

came from the Polish Socialist Party. The right wing
opposed these conceptions as it did all manifestations of
state-oriented policies. Up until mid-1930s, projects
organizing artistic life were dominated by a broadly
conceved trade imion movement, which strove towards
a welfare stale. For artists, it did not mean a State whose
decisions would pertain to art. In this area, they wished

to make the decisions themeselves. Hence, in Poland, a
totalitarian vision of art under State protection, in which
politicians would shape artistic programmes, did not
have any practical impact. This would occur neither in
realizations nor in institutional forms, despite the
efforts madę in this direction by numerous individuals
and groups.
