Beksinski was a renowned Polish painter, photographer, and sculptor who is best known as a fantasy artist. He executed his paintings and drawings either in what he called a 'Baroque' or a 'Gothic' manner. The first style is dominated by representation, with the best-known examples coming from his 'fantastic realism' period when he painted disturbing images of a surrealistic, nightmarish environment. The second style is more abstract, being dominated by form, and is typified by his later paintings. He was murdered in 2005.
Drugi z czterech tomów albumów ukazujacych twórczość Zdzisława Beksińskiego.
Tutaj we wstępie postać Beksińskiego przedstawia Wiesław Ochman, opowiadając o tym jaki jest jego charakter i nastawienie do własnego malarstwa. Dodatkowo tekst zdobią zdjęcia pochodzące z prywatnego archiwum artysty. Wprowadzenie do albumu napisał Wiesław Banach, krótko omawiając twórczość Beksińskiego.
Zbiór zawiera interesujące rysunki pochodzące z lat 70-tych oraz przepiękne dzieła malarskie, skąd - podobnie jak w przypadku pierwszego tomu - "wyłuskałam" kilka ulubionych, m.in.: AC75 (1975 rok, str. 52); AE75 (1975 rok, str. 55) i AE78 (1978 rok, str. 63).
Do gustu mniej przypadły mi jedynie grafiki komputerowe zamieszczone pod koniec albumu.
