The Polish artist Wojciech Fangor (1922 – 2015) was part of significant international movements that had a profound influence on the course of Western art history. His biography and artistic career are inextricably linked to the great historical upheavals of the 20th century.
This catalogue showcases a selection of rarely seen paintings and drawings that explore the naked human form with all its variety and cultural resonances. Included are works dating from Fangor’s artistic beginnings in the turbulent and difficult late 1940s, right up until the visually effervescent and experimental large-scale partially painted collages he produced in the 21st century. It simultaneously takes a very intimate look at the artist and illustrates the art-historical influences on his work.

This book was published in cooperation with The Fangor Foundation and contains an essay by the Berlin-based art writer Dominic Eichler.
