Young Poland

Young Poland (Polish: Polska Młoda ) is the name for a sense of modernism in Polish literature, music and art. The Young Poland existed as a group of artists in 1890 to 1918.

In this phase, developed in Poland new literary and artistic trends such as decadence, neo-romanticism, symbolism, impressionism and Secession.

The term Young Poland ( Młoda Polska) goes back to the writer Artur Górski (1870 - 1959 not to be confused with the right-wing politicians of the Law and Justice Party ). Górski criticized in a programmatic manifesto the then influential flow of literary positivism in Poland and placed him against a literary program for young artists.
