Today marks the 62nd anniversary of Andrzej Wróblewski’s death (b. 1927, Vilnius–d. 1957, Tatra Mountains).

This is Andrzej Wróblewski (b. 1927, Vilnius–d. 1957, Tatra Mountains) – comrade, citizen, communist, candidate for the Party, assistant at the Faculty of Painting of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, decorated with the Medal of the 10th Anniversary of People’s Poland. Art historian and critic, temporarily a socialist realist. Husband and father. His expressive  “inner self-governance”, based on a certain discipline of thinking and perception, rejected mediocrity, ordinariness, and compromises that reduced the artist to a “functional automaton.”
