blog Note taken from Days of Future Past
The February 21, 2005, the Polish painter Zdzislaw Beksinski was found dead in his apartment in Warsaw with seventeen stab wounds to his body, two of which considered fatal. Robert Kupiec (the teenage son of the caretaker) and a friend were arrested shortly after the crime. Robert Kupiec pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment by a court in Warsaw, and his accomplice to 5 years. Shortly before his death, Beksinski had been denied a loan to Kupiec.
The last years of his life had been tough for Beksinski. His wife, Zofia, died in 1998. A year later, on Christmas Eve 1999, his son Tomasz (a popular radio presenter and music journalist) committed suicide. Beksinski himself discovered the body of his son Zdzislaw Beksinski (Sanok, 1929-Warsaw, 2005) was a photographer, painter and sculptor, and although at the beginning practiced abstract art, is best known for his surrealist paintings. In desolate desert landscapes populated by beings sometimes cadaverous-looking strange rise buildings in ruins. Despite its somber tone, he said some of his works were misunderstood because they are rather optimistic and even humorous.
In 1977 burned many of his works in the backyard, leaving not even documentation on them, because they were considered too personal or that were not enough quality for people to see. Beksinski painted
always listening to classical music, and she hated silence.
None of his pictures have a title.
the end of the nineties he discovered computers, internet and digital photography and experimented with the latter until his death. I have the impression that Beksinski is one of those artists whose importance will grow over time.
Beksinski's official website has the same environment disturbing paintings. If they decide enter (at your own risk) I notice that the menu links are set in black circles with life. And the inevitable music does not help to calm the mind. Besides the paintings, no longer see their pictures.
