Grzywacz, Zbylut (1939-2004)

Work from the series ‘March’68’ created by Zbylut Grzywacz in April 1968 as a direct commentary on the March events in Krakow, witnessed by the then young (29-year-old) artist. The drawing depicts a scene seen by Grzywacz on March 8, on the day of the first student protests, when the communist authorities were also celebrating the Women’s Day. In the Planty park next to the university, a militiaman was kicking a student lying on the ground. As the artist said: ‘What I saw overlapped with a drawing, previously made, with a motif of rape. Hence the truncheon-phallus and the cop casting his shadow upon the girl’ ('(Auto)portret artysty z czasów młodości. Ze Zbylutem Grzywaczem rozmawia Joanna Boniecka, in: "Zbylut Grzywacz 1939–2004", Kraków 2008, p. 26).
