The Queen Jadwiga Foundation
(QJF) refers to the tradition where the visual art and science were very
closely related. The QJF Art&Science
Gallery that is part of the QJF activities is the result of research in image
understanding and aesthetic evaluation. This research is carried out, currently, as a part of the research activities
of the Queen Jadwiga Research Institute of
Understanding and artistic exploration of the micro-macro world of the QJF Art&Science Gallery. In
turn, the works of art created within the framework of the Queen Jadwiga Foundation Inc. (the QJF Art&Science Gallery) are object of the
research of the Queen Jadwiga Research Institute
of Understanding. The aim of the QJF Art & Science Gallery is to
promote works of art whose inspiration is rooted in Christian values.
The Gallery is based on an artistic program comprising
three thematic strands:
1. Masterpieces as signs
The artistic interpretation of the best artistic works
is placed in an interpretational context as signs of human existence
2. Works of art as a result of systematic
investigations
Works of art are created through investigation of the
visual structure of selected pictures
3. Scientific beauty of the expanded visual field
The source of the aesthetic inspiration might be found
not only in the world of our common existence but also, due to the
expansion of our scale of perception, in the’ micro-macro’ world.
