“At which table would you like to sit? In a fifteenth-century miniature illustrating Valerius Maximus’s collection of deeds and sayings, temperance and intemperance are depicted through the contrast of two feasting tables. At one, elegantly dressed courtiers partake of modest meals in silence and contemplation. At the other, a rowdy group eats and drinks to excess, entertaining themselves with banter, teasing, and even dozing off with heads on the table. The second table is undeniably more lively and entertaining…”
Dr Grazyna Bastek - the main curator of the exhibition
“Wojtek and I spent a long time discussing what it means to lack temperance.
Intemperance is the moment when you lose control over yourself — when addiction takes over your life. You begin to drown.
While painting this piece, Wojtek himself showed no restraint.”
Aron Pudelko - co-curator of the exhibition
