Zdzisław Beksiński (Polish: [ˈzd͡ʑiswaf bɛkˈɕiɲski]; 24
February 1929 – 21 February 2005) was a Polish painter, photographer
and sculptor, specializing in the field of utopian art. Beksiński did
his paintings and drawings in what he called either a ‘Baroque’ or
a 'Gothic’ manner. His creations were made mainly in two periods.
The first period of work is generally considered to contain
expressionistic color, with a strong style of “utopian realism”
and surreal architecture, like a doomsday scenario. The second period
contained more abstract style, with the main features of formalism.
