Andrzej Wroblewski

Andrzej Wróblewski was not only as a painter involved in political changes in Poland at the turn of the 1950s, but also as a creator of an immensely suggestive vision of war and degradation of man. Simultaneously, his oeuvre cannot be conveniently pigeonholed as he also created propaganda paintings and formal experiments on the verge of abstraction. Torn between political involvement and artistic experimentation, he created an individual, highly suggestive formula for figurative painting, which still inspires and serves as a benchmark for next generation artists.
