The place for modern art, marked by the artists of the Krzywe Koło Gallery, is directly related to a number of creative activities of the Polish interwar avant-garde. Freedom of creative expression has become the music of the new times. The artists, without clearly referring to any of the existing trends, adopted the following as their basic principle: art does not have to result from content, but from color and form, sensitivity and composition, expression and gesture. The contribution of Polish artists to the creative achievements of the second half of the 20th century was quickly noticed and even faster forgotten. The transformations of the ability to see and feel resulting from their activity still do not find their proper place in the opinions of critics and historians, and in the consciousness of researchers of this period they exist only virtually.
