In this way, we remember not only those who founded the first photographic organization in Wrocław after World War II in 1947—the Wrocław Photographic Society, which in 1951 became the basis for the formal establishment of the Wrocław Delegation of the Association of Polish Art Photographers—but also those who created art photography in Lower Silesia. Among them are veterans of Polish photography who developed their work through the Lviv Photographic Society and other territories of the Second Polish Republic; graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław and the Phototechnics Department of the Institute of Physical Chemistry at Wrocław University of Technology; as well as artists whose activities grew out of the amateur art movement.
