The seven works in the “Propaganda” series are watercolour, ink and pen drawings and one oil on cardboard. They date from 1974 to 1988. The common motif of the works in the series is propaganda, compulsory creation of propaganda shows and decorations, propaganda that encroaches on private life, and propaganda officers. His drawings remain a testimony of an era and, at the same time, of an artist struggling with the lack of creative freedom. At the formal level, they are in an interesting relationship with the works of other artists struggling with the coercion of propaganda, for example Andrzej Wróblewski, an important artist in the narrative of the Museum of Modern Art.
