Polish group of artists that flourished between 1922 and 1932, although Rhythm exhibitions continued to be held after the group's disbandment (11 held up to 1932 by the group itself). Members included the painters Waclaw Borowski (1885-1950s), Eugeniusz Zak (1884-1926), Tadeusz Pruszkowski (1888-1942), Zofia Stryjenska and Romuald Kamil Witkowski (1876-1950), the graphic artists Tadeusz Gronowski (b 1894) and Wladyslaw Skoczylas (1883-1934) and the sculptors Henryk Kuna (1885-1945) and Edward Wittig. The Rhythm group had no clearly defined programme. It emerged after the disbanding of Revolt (Bunt) and the Formists, before the advent of colourism and the avant-garde groups, with the aim of organizing exhibitions of a high standard. The Rhythm artists favoured classicism and appreciated stylized drawing, rhythmic compositions and decorative effects. They represented the Polish Art Deco style, and they achieved their greatest success at the Exposition Internationale des Arts D?coratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris in 1925 and at the 'Fine book exhibition' (Paris 1931).
