The Young Poland movement emerged in the 1890s in response to Poland's non-existence for almost a century. The lecture will illuminate the case study of Karol Kłosowski (1882–1971) and his Silent Villa – a Total Work of Art and an Arts and Crafts house. Kłosowski came from Podolia (today's Ukraine) and settled down in Zakopane, the heart of the Young Poland movement.
