Biography
During the occupation he studied privately with Tadeusz Pruszkowski and Felicjan Szczęsny Kowarski. He received his diploma from the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts in 1946. For the Festival of Youth and Students in Warsaw, he designed an open-air spatial decoration together with Henryk Tomaszewski. From then on, the painting works were realized in relation to the space outside the painting - as in the famous "Study of Space" from 1958, preceding the worldwide realization of environments. The painting installations of the 1950s and 1960s, composed of colorful contrasting circles and waves, touched on optical problems and were close to op-art. The culmination of this period was a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York (1970). He taught at universities in England and the US. His works are in major collections around the world.
