Mieczyslaw Lurczynski - born in 1907 in St. Petersburg and died in 1992 in Paris - Polish painter, writer and poet, created exclusively in exile after 1945. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, he joined the Union of Armed Struggle (ZWZ) and later the Home Army (AK) with the outbreak of World War II. Arrested by the Germans, he was held in Pawiak prison and later sent to Majdanek. He also stayed in the Buchenwald camp, from where he escaped to the front. After World War II, he settled in Hanover, wrote dramas there, published volumes of poetry and painted pictures. In 1949 he moved permanently to Paris, traveled extensively to Algeria, Spain and Morocco, and his travels inspired his paintings. He used clear contours and pure colors, and for this reason his works somewhat resemble stained glass.
