Zdzisław Beksiński was a renowned Polish painter, photographer and sculptor who is best known as a fantasy artist. Beksiński executed his paintings and drawings either in a Baroque or 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 surreal,
post-apocalyptic environment. The second style is more abstract, being
dominated by form, and is typified by Beksiński's later paintings.
