A unique collection of four mini albums, each showcasing a different artistic field explored by Zdzisław Beksiński: “Drawing,” “Painting,” “Photography,” and “Graphics.” Each mini-album has 64 pages, measures 5.5 × 7.5 inches, features a hardcover binding, and is available in a bilingual Polish-English edition. All albums are presented in an elegant hardcover case.
“Beksiński. Drawing” delves into the mysterious and controversial world of Beksiński’s graphic art, exploring themes of eroticism, sadism, and masochism. His works from 1956-1969, created using cliché-verre and monotyping techniques, focused on human and animal figures and evolved into preliminary sketches for his paintings. In the 1990s, Beksiński combined traditional drawing with computer graphics.
“Beksiński. Painting” showcases Beksiński’s most important paintings, highlighting his visionary and apocalyptic style. Known for his diverse artistic talents, this album offers insight into Beksiński’s extraordinary imagination and ability to transform visions into compelling art.
“Beksiński. Photography”/ focuses on Beksiński’s photographic works, primarily featuring his wife, Zofia. His innovative approach and poetic sensitivity are evident in these photographs, which emphasize the theme of transience and showcase his avant-garde style.
“Beksiński. Graphics” presents a selection of Beksiński’s graphic works, including hand-drawn and computer-generated art. His interest in computer graphics in the mid-1990s led to innovative works blending traditional techniques with digital advancements. Chosen by Wiesław Banach, these pieces highlight Beksiński’s relentless curiosity and forward-thinking approach.
All artwork in this box set comes from the collections of the Historical Museum in Sanok.
