Biography
Henryk Stażewski is a legend of avant-garde art in Poland. He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1913-20, and in the early days of his career painted still lifes. He temporarily exhibited with the "Formists" grouping (1922). He also took part in the Exhibition of New Art in Vilna in 1923. From that time he created under the influence of Constructivism. In addition to painting compositions, he was involved in book graphics, designed interiors, furnishings, as well as set designs - these were mostly theoretical and studio works. Polish and international avant-garde groups, with which he exhibited and collaborated as a publicist, were as follows: "Blok" (1924-26), "Praesens" (1926-30), "Cercle et Carré" (1929-31), "Abstraction-Création" (1931-39), "a.r." (1932-39). He also belonged to the Circle of Advertising Graphic Artists (1933-39). In 1930 he was co-organizer of a collection of works by artists of the international avant-garde intended for the Lodz museum (now in the Museum of Art in Lodz). After World War II, he lived and worked in Warsaw. In the 1940s and 1950s, he made attempts to adapt to the demands of figurative art. From this period come drawing and painting compositions on the themes of labor, construction, as well as monumental projects. After 1956, widely recognized as the patron saint of the Polish avant-garde, he already practiced exclusively abstraction of Constructivist origin. He created cycles of works that were studies of planes, lines, colors in various arrangements in relation to each other. With the appearance of cool perfection, he knew how to imbue them with the emotion of a direct touch, the trace of a hand. In addition to painting and derivative forms, such as collages, reliefs, multiples, he created spatial forms and printmaking (he authorized serigraphic replicas of his works).
