Zdzislaw Beksinski - Tadeusz Nyczek, Arkady Warsaw 1989, f. 20.5 x 25cm, p. 142
"Over the years he gained the label of a creator of dreams, metaphysics, metaphor. He was accused of surrealism, psychopathy, the desire to shock. He has always stressed that he cares about painting beautiful pictures, as the term was understood in the 19th century. He describes his work as "photographing a vision." Vision is a fleeting product of the subconscious - a painting serves to capture this transience. Thus, it is not symbolic painting and does not contain any additional meanings of the kind of :heartening" or "showing the evils of this world". Whoever demands the solution of the alleged riddles hidden in the painted scenes, people and objects, commits a fundamental mistake: these paintings reveal a non-understanding and extra-logical reality."
