Catalogue information
Wojciech Fangor A painter, draftsman, sculptor and poster artist. Co-founder of the Polish School of Posters. He was born on November 15, 1922 in Warsaw. He died there on October 25, 2015. Wojciech Fangor was one of the last "great masters" of the 20th century. He made his debut shortly after World War II and often changed his style - he created both figurative and abstract painting. His poster from 1953 is considered a turning point in the history of the Polish Poster School. In 1958 he created the first room installation of world art. In the early 1960s, he became famous for his vibrant painting - abstract paintings that give the impression of movement. His painting experiments were exemplary not only on the Polish level, but also in world art - the artist was the only Pole to have his own exhibition in the Guggenheim Museum in New York. He lived in the United States for almost half his life.
