Biography
Studied in 1946-51 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. In the early period of his work he referred to the experience of impressionism, in the late 1950s he experienced a fascination with informel. The transformations that take place in his paintings focus mainly on the gradual departure from a straightforward, overly literal form. He created works that use "object" suggestions and refer, for example, to Christian iconography, cycles of abstract compositions (e.g. "Gorges", "Variations on the Number Four", "Talmudic Studies") or reaching back to the author's own experiences ("Highways"). The artist represented Poland at the Sao Paulo Biennale (1969) and the Venice Biennale (1972). In 1977 he was awarded the Cyprian Kamil Norwid Art Criticism Award, and in 1990 he was honored with the prestigious Jan Cybis Award
