‘The painting of Roman Artymowski draws one’s attention by certain artistic qualities which the artist had consistently introduced into the sphere of Polish post-war art.

(…) Whereas the artist’s later works had brought one of the greatest series of acrylic Landscapes in the Polish post-war art (…)”
(from the essay by P. Majewski)
