Product Description This bilingual album features the earliest and least known artistic work of Zdzislaw Beksinski - photography, with which he remained fascinated almost throughout the 1950s. Although the famous visionary artist consistently disparaged his juvenile fling with photography later in life, his earliest work is appreciated by art critics and academics alike. The text by Wieslaw Banach provides a systematic analysis of the motifs and formal elements in Beksinski's work (e.g. portrait, nude, expressionistic, abstract, montage), and has been arranged according to the original graphic design by professor Lech Majewski. The album is abundantly illustrated with never before published photographs, made available courtesy of the Historical Museum in Sanok and the National Museum in Wroclaw. The album features a little-known stage in the artistic work of Zdzislaw Beksinski. The text provides an analysis of motifs and formal elements in his 1950s photographs (e.g. portrait, nude, expressionistic, abstract, montage). The reproduced photographs come from the collections of the Historical Museum in Sanok and the National Museum in Wroclaw. About the Author Beksinski was born on 24th February 1929 in Sanok, though he used to say that this date was not at all certain. Apparently, during the German occupation of Poland during the Second World War he was given a false year of birth to save him from deportation to Germany to slave labour. During the War, he attended clandestine grammar school, and after the war ended he wanted to study film and to become a movie director. But his father did not consent, thinking it would not secure his son's future. In line with the family tradition, he made him apply to the Faculty of Architecture & Engineering at the Krakow Polytechnic. He studied there and graduated with MSc received in 1952. Later in his life he commented on his choice of architectural studies over art: "I hated architecture so much that architecture is a plan, a project and as boring as a mechanical saw execution". On April 30th, 1951 Beksinski married Zofia Helena Stankiewicz, and they remained married until her death on September 22nd, 1998. His wife became his muse, and he often used her as a principal model, especially in his photographic works. Beksinski had no formal training as an artist. After completing college he was obliged to take up a mandatory job assignment, which was then required by the orders of the Socialist government. He spent several years away from his home town Sanok, working on various construction sites as a construction site supervisor. He hated his job, and in spite of the monotonousness that came with it, he had gradually started realizing his true vocation. He took on sculpting, where he would often use his construction site materials for his medium. After fulfilling his obligatory employment, he returned to Sanok in 1955 and spent a few years working for the Autosan bus and coach manufacturer as a bus designer. But most of his projects, after creating prototypes, did not enter into production. When working for Autosan, he started taking painting more and more seriously. He brought brushes and paint from the Autosan paint shop. Setting up a studio at home was a big problem financially, but it didn't stop him from excelling in various art forms. Apart from an immense number of drawings he also did abstract reliefs and full sculptures. He entered the Avant-Garde stream and his exceptionalism started attracting critical attention. In his figural drawings, his aim was a well-nigh drastic kind of expression. Simultaneously he has followed his calling in art photography. In May 1957 Beksinski set up an informal group of art photographers and their expositions were soon held in various galleries in Poland. In 1958 Beksinski became a member of the Association of Polish Art Photographers, and in 1959 he and his two friends exhibited for the first time abroad, at the prestigious gallery in Co

Selection of the most important paintings by Zdzislaw Beksinski, one of the most original Polish painters of the twentieth century. Beksinski practiced photography, drawing, graphic art, computer graphics, sculpture, but most importantly painting. His fantastic, visionary, apocalyptic visions create recognizable at first glance style. Works of Beksinski are in museums and private collections in Poland and abroad, but the largest collection, numbering several thousand works, and the entire archive of the artist belong to the Historical Museum in Sanok. The images featured in this album come from this collection.
