This article is based on the author’s interest in the response to Stanisław Wyspiański’s artistic work in Bulgaria in the 1920s and 1930s, as well as the search for its traces today. Wyspiański’s work is huge in terms of volume and fields of expression: dramaturgy, poetry, murals, stained glass, book art, painting, textile and furniture design projects, and many more decorative forms. Although he was well known with his poetic and dramaturgical work among wider audiences, his artistic realizations remained mostly in the background. This observation is valid for both Bulgaria and the Pan-European context, at least untill the 1970s. Being aware that separating his artistic work from his literary and dramaturgical work cannot be justified, the author attempts to enrich the range of issues in contemporary publications by Bulgarian literary historians through the issues Wyspiański, as an artist, raised in our country. There was a significant difference between the time and artistic milieus of the Polish artist and the time of his perception in Bulgaria, between the period around the 1900s and the years after World War I. Despite all this, some of the protagonists of the broad Native Art movement that emerged in Bulgaria after World War I, with their new sensitivity towards the national idea, saw their own attitudes and experiences in Wyspiański’s work from around 1900. Differently, but also similar to the Polish artist, they were drawn to numerous variants of historicism, legendary imagery, mysticism, folklore forms, folk visual culture, and the experience of National Romanticism, Symbolism, and Art Nouveau in different cultural milieus.
