Fine Arts — their Popularization and Perception in Krakow in the late Nineteenth Century (1868-1918)
Problem of popularization of fine arts is inseparably connected with the conception of "aesthetical education”, that is with the process of forming desirable attitude towards arts. ln the nineteenth century ”aesthetical education” began to be treated as a one of the most necessary elements of general education of children and adults. In this time an informal model of education was renounced in this sphere and it was granted institutional forms. One of its most important elements were drawing lessons and elements of artistical education in school programms. ln Kraków apart of schools, there were numerous artistical, cultural and educational institutions engaged in popularization of tine arts. Protection of historical buildings and monuments, development of history of arts as an academic branch and development of the press became as well important for the society. Nevertheless, the group of ”consumers” of arts was still limited to the intelligentsia and, to some extant, aristocracy.
