However, over 90% of respondents in Poland and Norway, after attending the curator''s lecture, and in the case of young people and children - after the lecture and artistic activities, understood the meaning of the artist''s art and the way he expressed himself in relation to the reality surrounding us in connection with the past and tradition.
