FROM THE CYCLE / 'ANIMALISTIC LANDSCAPE / 70 x 50 / 1977 / MUSIAŁOWICZ (in pencil).

Paintings from the "Animalistic Landscape" series have been present in Henryk Musialowicz's work since the 1950s. In 1957, the artist made an important trip to France, where he had the opportunity to see collections of archaic and early medieval art. The synthetic form of the objects he saw there probably significantly influenced the painter's work, as one of the characteristics of his work was the use of a synthetic representation of an animal or human figure simplified to its outline. The sign thus defined, which Henryk Musialowicz has used since 1964, also acquires colors, often gold and red, and the whole composition of relief structures. Until now, the painter has worked in black and white, keeping his works in chromatic color tones. The sign chosen by the artist in this series, associated with the figure of an animal, was also a manifestation of the spiritual thought accompanying the artist - as Bozena Kowalska wrote: "He found his truth, faith and sacrum in nature, in art and in man. In nature when, in the 1980s, he created for himself a secluded shelter in a garden full of trees and flowers in Cienszy, among the forest. In art, because as he said: "Humanity without art would be sad and impoverished," (...) In man, because despite the experience of war he never lost his conviction that, like evil, goodness and holiness are inherent attributes of human nature."
