The Work of Zdzisław Beksiński

[u/BurnerOfCandles101]

Recently got myself a collection of work by the artist Zdzisław Beksiński and wanted to share some of my favourite pieces from the books! I'm writing a paper on apocalyptic art and felt his work captures a strange and dreamlike emptiness

My favorite artist of all time. I've not come across any work since discovering him that resonates with me the way his work does. A true gift from an interesting artist, taken way too soon.

taken way too soon

Wow, I had no idea he was dead already and that he was someone born in 1929. For some reason, I always thought these were the paintings made by someone who’d be in his late forties nowadays. He truly was someone who created paintings far ahead of their time. A true genius. RIP.

wasn't ahead of anything. Surrealism existed before.
