This post presents a list of objects related to Polish cultural heritage in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The listing is based on publicly available information in museum catalogues and the author's independent findings. It is preliminary in nature and further updating and revision is planned.

Our aim is not only to document the presence of these works in the museum's collection, but also - in the future - to expand the database with information on their provenance (origin), exhibition history and detailed artistic analyses.

Due to current copyright regulations, we cannot publish reproductions of most works. However, where possible, we provide links to the official museum catalogue, which includes images or additional information.

Unless otherwise stated, the objects were not on display at the time of publication and were outside the exhibition galleries. It is worth remembering that even works marked 'on display' may have been removed and may be temporarily unavailable.

Every effort is made to ensure that the information presented is reliable and up-to-date. However, the museum's collections are subject to change - if you notice inaccuracies or changes in the status of objects, please contact us.

• "The Nun", oil on canvas, 99.7 x 79.5 cm, catalogue number 1964.19.10
• "Young Girl Praying", watercolour on cardboard, 66.7 x 55.7 cm, catalogue number 1964.19.11

Both paintings by Eugene Zak are from the collection of the American banker and art collector Chester Dale (d. 1962). As a collector, he specialised primarily in French art. Most of the works from his collection of Paul Ceznna, Hneri Marisse and Pablo Picasso, among others, found their way into the National Gallery of Art in Washington after his death in 1964. Two paintings by Eugene Zak, purchased by the collector in 1929 in Paris, also belong to this group.

Works by Eugene Zak appear in many museum collections. The exact date of the painting is not known. A characteristic feature of the artist's oeuvre was the making of several versions of the same motif, with the individual variants of the paintings differing only in minor details. This is the case of the 'Monk', an almost identical version of which survives in a painting dated 1921 and stored in the District Museum in Toruń. Both paintings are characterised by a simplified rhythmic composition and a harmonious composition of colours creating a mood and a harmonious arrangement of the painting, bringing it closer to the assumptions of 'Rhythm', a group of which Eugeniusz Zak was a co-founder in 1922.
