Henryk Baranowski (1932 Starogard Gdański - 2005 Gdynia), Łódź on the shore

oil, canvas, 81 × 100 cm
Signed l.d.: "H. Baranowski".

"In the rich both thematically and quantitatively (he painted about 3500 paintings) of the artist's oeuvre, marine art occupies a leading place. "He used to say: "The sea does not know how to pose, it is in constant motion. What you are going to paint, you must do quickly...". So he created quickly, greedily, enchanted by the vibrating colors of reality. However, he always went outside the box, seeking his own path, sometimes the one against the current. At a time when most painters preferred abstraction, he remained a realist, faithful to his vision of the world" M.Kowalski, Henryk Baranowski, Painting, Museum of Gdynia 2013 .(press mat.)
