Wróblewski Andrzej

He was born in 1927 in Wilno, died in 1957 during the expedition in Tatry Mountains.
He was one of the most outstanding Polish artists of the post-war period. Between 1945 and 1952 he was the student of the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow in the Faculty of Painting and Sculpture under Zygmunt Radnicki’s, Zbigniew Pronaszka’s, Hanna Rudzka-Cybisowa’s and Jedzy Fedkowicz’s direction. Almost simultaneously (1945-48) he took up Art History at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. At the beginning he was doing graphics, however, permanently painting became his main preoccupation. He created the individual format of figurative painting. Wróblewski dealt with subjects inspired by everyday life of his contemporaries producing metaphorical pictures which he often joined into series, for instance, the cycle Shooting (1948-1949) referring to war experiences.
