Summary
| Description |
English: In anticipation of the 1939 World’s Fair in New York, the government of Poland commissioned Arthur Szyk to paint the large series The Glorious Days of the Polish-American Fraternity, which examined the relationship between Poland and the United States through significant contributions made by individual Poles to the history of the U.S. This work celebrates the friendship between President Woodrow Wilson and Ignacy Paderewski (the Polish premier), who both worked for freedom and democracy. Paderewski drafted the 13th of Wilson’s 14 points, which argued for peace post-World War I, calling for a free and independent Poland. The original art hung in the Polish Pavilion at the World’s Fair and was reproduced on postcards printed in Kraków. |
