‘Motherhood’ (Stanisław Słodowy)

“Motherhood”, 1971, Pińczów stone

Stanisław Słodowy (1932–2018) – visual artist, sculptor, professor at the Silesian University of Technology and laureate of numerous major awards at national and international art exhibitions.

In the 1970s, adorning city parks with sculptural compositions became popular. The group of sculptures – a mother with children and a pregnant woman – forms an apotheosis of motherhood. The simplicity of the forms harmoniously blends with the anatomy of the human figure. 

The sculptures were commissioned in 1971 by the Friends of Gliwice Association.
