Biography
From 1945-52 studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow and art history at the Jagiellonian University. From 1946 he participated in exhibitions, and from 1948 he also engaged in journalism, mainly in the field of art. From 1950-54 he served as an assistant at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in the studios of Prof. Radnicki and Prof. Rudzka-Cybisowa, among others. He died on March 23, 1957 on a solitary excursion in the Tatra Mountains. In his works, using an original and fascinating language of painting, he expressed in a highly evocative way the tragic experiences of a generation growing up during the war and entering maturity during Stalinist times. Considered a forerunner of new figuration, contemporary realism, also new expression, he is among the greatest Polish painters of the 20th century.
