The painting 'Untitled' from 1959-1962 by Jerzy Tchórzewski is a work created using his own technique on paper measuring 65.5 x 98 cm (visible in the frame), signed in the lower right corner: J. Tchórzewski 59/62. The work is characteristic of the artist's oeuvre, who rejected socialist realism and colorism, turning towards surrealist and surrealistic painting. His works depict visions of cosmic cataclysms, dynamic zigzag lines, and play of light and shadow, creating expressive, mysterious compositions. The artist applied uneven paint texture and often depicted titanic figures symbolizing mythological Titans or Prometheus.
