A.r. group

The a.r. group ("revolutionary artists" or "real avant-garde") was an avant-garde art group set up by Władysław Strzemiński, Katarzyna Kobro, and Henryk Stażewski in 1929, who had previously been members of Blok and Praesens.[1]

Rather than creating its own magazine the a.r. group issued short irregular bulletins, the first in March 1930, followed by a second in December 1932. They also published a series of avant-garde books, which formed the a.r. collection. Nevertheless, through the a.r. group, Strzemiński was able to set up the first International Collection of Modern Art in Europe, based in Łódź.[1]
