Alfons Mazurkiewicz (1922-1975)
Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Wrocław, under Eugene Geppert.
Mazurkiewicz’s early paintings were surrealistic but by the late 1960’s and early 1070’s he began work on almost completely monochromatic paintings emphasizing the physicality of the surface. These works use thick oil paint to create rhythmic parallel lines, playing with light, giving the illusion of a morphing, unstable surface.
Unfortunately, it seems his work is not well known internationally.
