SZCZESNY Marek (born 1939) - Lot 57
SZCZESNY Marek (born 1939) Untitled Oil on canvas Signed and dated 2019 on the back 100,5 x 81 cm Note : Marek Szczesny (pronounced Tchesny) was born in 1939 in Radom, Poland. In 1980 he emigrated to France, which in his eyes embodies the country of art and freedom. However, his integration is not easy. He was isolated and had to accept the most difficult jobs on public works sites or as a night watchman to survive, while working hard on his painting. Over the years his situation improved and galleries became interested in his work. Numerous solo and group exhibitions mark out his career during the last decades, in France and in Europe. In addition, and not unimportantly, he is the recipient of several important foundations in the United States, such as the Pollock-Krasner Foundation in 1999, and the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation in 2008. This interest in his work in the United States is easy to understand, since his work is part of the tradition initiated by the great American expressionist artists, whom Harold Rosenberg described in 1952 as "Action painters".
