The exhibition explores the formal and iconographic sources of the work of Georg Johann Tribowski - a painter born in a German-Kashubian family in Gdynia, and after the end of the Second World War, temporarily displaced to Szczecin. The artist spent his teenage years here, in 1964 emigrating to Hamburg. Szczecin, despite the exclusion that met him here, formed the artist's fundamental artistic interests. During this period, Tribowski dealt exclusively with sacred art, rejecting the socialist realism prevailing at the time. In his works he mainly dealt with topics that allowed him to symbolically express pain and suffering. They became a record of the artist's emotions struggling with the lack of space for free development. In these compositions, Tribowski referred to the paintings of Renaissance North European artists (Matthias Grünewald, Albrecht Dürer), German Expressionists (Ernst Ludwig Kirchner) and Parisian "modern" artists (Amadea Modigliani, Pablo Picasso). At the exhibition, visitors will have the opportunity to see two Gothic sculptures from the collection of the District Museum: Madonna and Christ , which are very rarely presented at exhibitions.
