ZBIGNIEW TYMOSZEWSKI

In 1952 he received his diploma from J. Cybis at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Initially he painted realistic paintings close to colorism (Landscape from Suffczyn (ca. 1948)). In the second half of the 1950s, fascinated by informel art, he began to create nature-inspired abstract compositions, characterized by saturated colors and coarsely modeled textures (Blue Landscape, 1961). In the last years of his life he painted figurative paintings full of dramatic expression (Horse, 1962), Meat, 1963). Since 1955, he was a teacher of painting and drawing at the State High School of Theater Technology in Warsaw. In 1958, in Warsaw, in the exhibition halls of the former IPS, Tymoszewski held the only individual exhibition of his works during his lifetime. In 1959, he participated in the Third Exhibition of Modern Art in Warsaw and the Exhibition of Modern Painting in Yugoslavia. In 1963, a posthumous exhibition of Tymoszewski's works from 1960 1963 was held at the ZPAP Art Gallery. On the 30th anniversary of the artist's death, a retrospective exhibition of his work was organized at Warsaw's Zachęta Gallery.
