A monographic album presenting the unique work of one of the most outstanding contemporary folk artists of Kashubia - Józef Chełmowski from Jaglia near Brus /Chernitz County/. Careful in terms of editing, the album presents the Madonna - one of the most popular thematic motifs taken up by the artist in terms of iconographic richness, exceeding all schemes, as well as characteristic individualisation of style.  It enables an attempt to explore Chełmowski's extraordinary imagination and artistic sensitivity, strongly rooted in the folk culture of the Kashubian region. The author of this insightful discussion of the phenomenon of the artist's work is an eminent expert on the subject, art historian and ethnologist - Aleksander Błachowski, PhD, who associated for many years with the Ethnographic Museum in Toruń. The bilingual /pol.-en./ album is provided with an index of significant collective exhibitions and folk art competitions with post-competition exhibitions in which the artist participated, as well as an index of his exhibitions.
