45,0 x 80,0cm - oil, canvas signed on the reverse in marker pen: IGNACY CZWARTOS | 2009 | IGNACY 2008 [date crossed out] CZWARTOS | YEAR | [mark of an upward arrow].



The painting, despite its abstract approach, contains clearly perceptible elements of a processed landscape. About Czwartos' early works, Jerzy Nowosielski wrote that they are perfectly abstract, yet one senses a strong emotional subtext. These words can also be applied to the painting we are presenting at our auction.
