Polish Modernism was an artistic and cultural movement that emerged in Poland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It sought to break away from traditional forms and embrace new ideas in literature, art, and architecture. Influenced by global trends, Polish Modernism emphasized individual expression and innovation, often reflecting the social and political changes of the time. Key figures in this movement included writers like Bolesław Leśmian and artists such as Władysław Strzemiński. The movement also encompassed various styles, including Art Nouveau and Constructivism, which aimed to create a distinct Polish identity while engaging with broader European modernist trends.
