Painter, illustrator, teacher, scenographer — born November 1, 1918 in Lviv; died in Rome on April 13, 1987. In the years 1918-1954 he lived in Kraków, and then, until his death, in Zakopane.
A founding member of the 2nd Kraków Group (1957), in the years 1959-75 he was also associated with the international group PHASES. Starting in 1955, he took part in almost all major exhibitions of Polish contemporary art in Poland and abroad. After 1957 — especially in the 1960s, when he was considered one of the European leaders of modern painting — he exhibited at the highest level of international events (Biennale in Sao Paulo 1959 and in 1975, Venice Biennale 1962, Seattle World Fair 1962; ROSC Dublin 1967).
His works can be found in public collections (all important collections of contemporary art in Poland and many abroad – including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Vatican Museum, the National Museum in Bratislava) and in many private collections both in Poland and abroad.
