Zdzislaw Beksinsky

beksinskyOver the years I’ve seen few nations rival Cold War era Poland and Czechoslovakia for producing artists who could express angst so well, in all of graphic design, illustration and animation. Here’s an artist, sadly passed away now, whose work I really admire: Zdzislaw Beksinsky. Eye candy but slow loading Flash interface, sorry.

    This man was one of these few remaining “masters” in the league of a salvador dali, max ernst, magritte, and so on.
    Unfortunately he was stabbed by 2 teenagers a year or two ago in his warsaw appartment. They thought they’d find money in his appartment.

    His work is classic. It’s so sad to hear what happened.

    I just tried to learn more about him on wikipedia but he wasn’t listed. Someone should definitely enter him on there.
