"With this tapestry, called The Musicians, Krystyna Sadowska evokes the fluid atmosphere of eternal poetry which invests those who need no words to express joy and sorrow. Full of youth and dynamism, The Musicians is similar in some ways to other contemporary Polish work, but its author has happily managed to avoid the pitfall of being over-influenced by folklore. Born in Poland on June 2, 1912, Krystyna Sadowska studied successively in Warsaw, London and Paris, finally emigrating to Canada some years ago, where she has now taken out formal citizenship. She paints and weaves her caricatures in her own workshop. Her tapestries have won many prizes in international exhibitions, notably a Gold Medal from the French Government in 1937." - Adolf Hoffmeister, Director of the History of Art, Prague (1978) |
