Untitled, 1957
The painting 'Untitled' from 1957 by Jerzy Tchórzewski is an oil on canvas work measuring 95 x 65 cm, signed in the lower right corner: J.Tchórzewski 57. The work fits within the artist's oeuvre, who rejected socialist realism and colorism, turning towards surrealist and surreal painting. These paintings are characterized by visions of cosmic cataclysms, dynamic lines reminiscent of electrical discharges, zigzag bands of matter, and expressive play of light and shadow. Tchórzewski often included titanic figures symbolizing mythological titans or Prometheus in his compositions. His technique involved uneven application of paint, enhancing the expression and dynamics of the work.
