Der aus Warschau stammende Künstler Wojciech Fangor arbeitete mit Farbe. Eben dies ist das Hauptelement seiner Kunst. Sicherlich wuchs der Künstler auch in politisch schwierigen Situationen auf, wie dem 2. Weltkrieg. Sein Kunstunterricht, den er beim Portraitmaler Tadeusz Pruszkowski und bei dem Maler und Bildhauer Felicjan Szczesny Kowarski erhielt, erlaubte ihm dafür den Zugang zu einer anderen Welt. Mit den Jahren wandte sich der Künstler den verschiedenen Kunststilen zu und entwickelte selbst eine Hinwendung zum sozialistischen Realismus. Die optische Kunst löste ihn jedoch von allen motivischen Geschehen und bewies sich in mehreren erfolgreichen Ausstellungen. Sein 'Positive Illusory Space' beinhaltete leuchtende Farben und kaum zu erkennende Konturen. An diesem 'Space' arbeitete der Künstler seit den 1950er Jahren und blieb dabei. Ebenso gehört auch die vorliegende Pastellzeichnung zu diesem Repertoire des Künstlers und zeigt in der eigenen Einfachheit die Schönheit und Eleganz abgestimmter kolorierter Linienführungen.
Wojciech Fangor (1922 Warsaw - 2015 ibid.) (F)

The Warsaw-born artist Wojciech Fangor worked with colour. This is the main element of his art. Certainly, the artist also grew up in politically difficult situations, such as the Second World War. His art lessons, which he received from the portrait painter Tadeusz Pruszkowski and the painter and sculptor Felicjan Szcz?sny Kowarski, allowed him access to another world. Over the years, the artist turned to different styles of art and developed a leaning towards socialist realism himself. Optical art, however, detached him from all motivic events and proved itself in several successful exhibitions. His 'Positive Illusory Space' included bright colours and barely discernible contours. The artist worked on this 'Space' since the 1950s and stuck to it. Likewise, the present pastel drawing also belongs to this repertoire of the artist and shows in its own simplicity the beauty and elegance of coordinated coloured lines.
