A specific purpose of art - the creation of a modern national style, which many regarded as supreme, and which merged current artistic trades with inspiration by native folk art - enjoyed the most spectacular achievements in the applied and decorative arts. The success of the Polish pavilion at the Exhibition of Decorative Arts in Paris (1925) consolidated those style-creative strivings, which in the 1930s were granted institutional, state support. The style in question, described as Art Deco, was expressed fullest in the effective panneaux by Zofia Stryjenska, known as the "princess of Polish art". [*]
