Fangor Wojciech
JA (Autobiography)
eds Janusz Górski, Piotr Sitkiewicz
A passionate spoken self-portrait of Wojciech Fangor, an outstanding painter and graphic artist, completed just before his death - one of the last testimonies of the most creative generation in the history of Polish contemporary art ■ The publication is illustrated with reproductions of works and photographs from the artist's private archive. Thanks to this, the narrative in the book is arranged in two directions: while Fangor's story sometimes deviates from the chronology of his private and artistic biography and follows the trail of associations dipping into side streets of memories, the illustrations form a precise axis on which the most important reveals of his life and work are arranged in the order of successive years. The book is based on conversations with Wojciech Fangor, conducted in his studio in Blędowo in 2010-2015 by Janusz Górski. The artist managed to authorize the text before his death, as well as make corrections and additions to it.
