The artwork titled “Karnaway and Volkskunst Museum” is a surrealist print created by Jacek Yerka in 1977. This piece belongs to the genre of poster art and was designed to convey themes associated with the surrealism art movement.
The artwork prominently features a whimsical, brightly colored depiction of an object resembling a toy butterfly with large, pink and green wings and a yellow body mounted on wheels. The butterfly appears to be flying over a vividly colored patchwork field that stretches into the horizon. The bottom section of the artwork contains text in German, reading “DAS KIND IN DER POLNISCHEN VOLKSKUNST.” The sky in the background transitions from blue to white, giving an impression of depth and atmosphere. This surrealist composition blends childlike elements with a bold and vibrant color palette, creating a visually engaging piece that captures the imagination.
