Paris, the town where
Michalowski trained as a painter, established its rank as the
capital of the art world and was to attract successive generations
of Polish artists. Here, many sought education which was unavailable
back home, tested their forces at the Salon - the most prestigious
displays of current creativity, while still others settled down
permanently. A painter connected with France to the end of his life
was Teofil Kwiatkowski, whose somnabulic
Chopin's Polonaise - a Ball in Hotel Lambert
provides exceptional testimony of the nostalgia and reveries of the
Parisian Great Emigration.
