Biography
Defended his diploma in 1955 at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Lodz. He remained associated with the Lodz art community, both with the National Film School (in 1955-1977) and today's Academy of Fine Arts, where he led the Photography Studio at the Faculty of Graphics. The artist works in a variety of techniques, practicing drawing, painting, printmaking and photography. In the 1950s, he was associated with the "Fifth Circle" group, and later with the "New Line." In the 1960s, he often exhibited his works in one of the most prominent galleries of the time, "Krzywe Koło" in Warsaw. He is the author of the term "Hotel of Art", which, thanks to him, in the 1970s the idea of independent exhibition activity formulated earlier by Andrzej Paruzel began to be called.
