Zdzisław Beksiński was born on February 24 in Sanok. An architect by profession, a photographer, graphic designer and painter by choice. As a young artist, he was involved in photography, winning a number of international competitions. The next form of expression for young Beksiński was purely abstract sculpture. After some time, however, he moved on to the next form of expression, which was drawing. Around 1964 he started painting, then he broke with the avant-garde and fully devoted himself to fantastic, visionary, figurative painting, carefully painted with oil paint on fiberboard. He never gave his paintings titles, believing that each viewer could interpret them in any way. Beksiński’s paintings were dominated by visions reminiscent of nightmares. After 2000, while continuing to paint and draw, he began to create his compositions on a computer and using a photocopier.
Zdzisław Beksiński was murdered in his apartment in Warsaw on the night of February 21-22, 2005, a few days before his 76th birthday.

Chełmoński Four-person room
Józef Chełmoński was born on November 7, 1849, near Łowicz. He came from a noble family in which art was highly valued, so in 1867, in Warsaw, he began his artistic education. At the same time, he studied art in Wojciech Gerson’s private studio. In 1972, he began a three-year course at the Munich Academy. In 1875 he went to Paris, where his paintings gained enormous popularity. Apart from the capital of France, during his youth he also visited Italy, Podolia and Ukraine. In 1878, he and his wife went on a 10-year journey. At that time, the couple visited and lived in Vienna, Munich, Venice and Paris.
Chełmoński is famous primarily for his landscapes showing the life of Polish and Ukrainian villages. He also became famous for his depictions of animals, including birds (cranes, quails). However, Chełmoński became particularly famous for his depictions of horses, which he showed with extraordinary precision and perspective perfection, rushing from the painting straight towards the viewer.
In 1914, he suffered an attack of apoplexy, which resulted in the paralysis of one hand, and although it was restored, Chełmoński painted nothing more. He died at the age of 64.

On the walls of the room:
“Stańczyk” Jan Matejko 1862
“Stańczyk” Leon Wyczółkowski 1898
When painting this picture, Leon Wyczółkowski consciously referred to the work of Jan Matejko. Matejko showed the clown as a person concerned about the fate of the then independent Poland, while Wyczółkowski showed the clown reflecting on the fall of the nation now led by conservatives loyal to the invader, whom he gave the form of theatrical puppets.
