    Summary note
    Enrico Prampolini is one of the most important artistic personages of the international avant-garde. His work echoes almost all new movements and styles of art of the first half of the 20th century: from Futurism, which he co-founded together with Filippo Tommaso Marinetti's group, through Dadaism, Constructivism and Surrealism, to the club of Parisian abstractionists Cercle et Carré. He was a painter, sculptor, scenographer, choreographer, architect and graphic designer. Pampolini created advertisements, posters, montages, big murals and stage sets for a number of movies. He was an organiser of artistic life in Paris, Prague and Rome, as well as curator of the last international avant-garde scenotechnique exhibition at the 6th Triennale in Milan (1936). The exhibition at the Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź presents in chronological order Prampolini's extremely rich artistic legacy in all these areas. The exhibition is the first one ever that will combine projects by representatives of the Italian futurism and the Polish avant-garde. The contacts between artists of both formations also come under examination in quite a broad context.
