The artist belongs to that artistic formation in Polish art, which, after a period of isolation during Stalinism, enthusiastically adopted modern form from the West in the second half of the 1950s. Synonymous with the avant-garde of the time was Tasmanian, non-geometric abstractionism, operating with a free arrangement of flowing patches of color. However, it was not an easy thing for all Polish artists to break with the real world. [...] Both in the paintings and graphics of Danuta Leszczyńska-Kluza there are all the fascinations characteristic of this formation: the aesthetics of informel, surrealist metaphoricity, naive lyricism. In many of her works the artist approaches the border of abstraction, composing them from freely disposed arrangements of spots. However, she never abandons figuration. (T. Gryglewicz, Danuta Leszczyńska-Kluza. To Kill Ariadne, catalogue of exhibitions TPSP Krakow, X 1995)







Danuta Leszczńska-Kluza (Przemyśl 1926, lives in Cracow) - painter; studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow from 1946 to 1952 under Zbigniew Pronaszka and Zygmunt Radnicki, graduated in 1952 under Z. Pronaszko. She participated in the National Exhibition of Young Visual Arts at the Warsaw Arsenal (1955). At first she created mainly drawings and paper collage and graphics, with time her work was dominated by painting. In the early 1960s, she was the recipient of MkiS scholarships in Paris and Italy. By then she had already won a number of prizes and awards, including a silver medal from the Internazionale Accademia di Tommaso Campanella in Rome (1968), becoming a member of the association a year later. In 1969 she participated in the Sao Paulo Biennale.


Since the 1980s, she has been creating monumental series of paintings that focus on loneliness and human existence. Often from heterogeneous, scattered elements, poignant compositions full of symbolism and philosophical message are created.
