Stanisław Fijałkowski
Zdołbunów (Polonia) 1922 - Łódź 2020
Nato il 4 novembre 1922 a Zdołbunów in Polonia [oggi Ucraina]. Negli anni 1946-1951 ha studiato presso la Scuola Superiore Statale di Belle Arti di Łódź. I suoi maestri sono stati Władysław Strzemiński, Stefan Wegner e Ludwik Tyrowicz.
Nelle prime fasi della sua carriera è stato influenzato dal surrealismo e dal costruttivismo. All'inizio degli anni Sessanta ha sviluppato un linguaggio pittorico unico, basato su un approccio introspettivo al costruttivismo, al minimalismo e all'astrazione lirica, al quale è rimasto fedele fino alla morte.
È stato vicerettore della scuola e preside del Dipartimento di Grafica. L'artista ha insegnato alla sua alma mater fino al 1993.
Nel 1989/1990 è stato visiting-professor all'Università di Giessen e all'Università di Marburgo, nella Germania occidentale. È stato vicepresidente della Società internazionale degli incisori su legno XYLON di Winterthur [Svizzera] e presidente della sezione nazionale polacca di XYLON. È stato inoltre membro dell'Academia Scientiarum et Artium Europea di Salisburgo [Austria] e dell'Academie Royale des sciences des lettres & des beaux-arts de Belgique di Bruxelles. Pittore e stampatore. Ha tradotto in polacco due libri di Wassily Kandinsky: "Punto e linea alla superficie" e "Sullo spirituale nell'arte" e un libro di Malewitsch: "Il mondo dell'assenza di oggetto".
È morto a Łódź all'età di 98 anni nel 2020.
