Wojciech Fangor
Wojciech Fangor was born in 1922 in Warsaw. He was one of the most distinctive painters to emerge from postwar Poland and a key founder of the Polish School of Posters.
An accomplished painter, graphic designer, poster artist, and sculptor, Fangor was a truly unique modernist artist and visionary talent.
He designed hundreds of iconic Polish film posters, developing his own distinct visual grammar which combined photo collage with bold and expressive painterly strokes.
During the second half of the 20th century became a pioneer of op Art and dedicated his career to exploring the emotional effects of colour and form and his work has been exhibited around the world. He continued to make art and in 2014 designed murals for the station walls of the Warsaw Underground. He died in 2015.
