The project included an exhibition presenting the graphic work of this multifaceted artist. Co-founder of the Poznań Expressionist group “Bunt” between 1918 and 1920, together with the publisher of the magazine “Zdrój”, Jerzy Hulewicz. He maintained contacts with Polish and international avant-garde groups. The works selected for the exhibition illustrated Kubicki's artistic development. From the 'Tower of Babel', which is closest to Expressionism, through works inspired by folk woodcuts and possessing increasingly simplified forms, discernible in 'Nude with Clouds' and 'Church Tower in Schömberg', to abstract-cubic works such as 'Dancer' and 'Thought', which are considered the first Polish avant-garde works.
The exhibition was accompanied by a catalogue containing, in addition to a biography and the artist's works, two texts by experts, Dr Lidia Głuchowska, Kubicki's monographer, and Dr Małgorzata Stolarska-Fronia on the history of early 20th-century art. The closing ceremony of the exhibition of linocuts by Stanisław Kubicki was accompanied by the promotion of a catalogue. A special guest at the meeting was Professor Jerzy Malinowski, a pioneer of research into the Polish avant-garde, who talked about his experiences and the history of developing this issue.
