JERZY NOWOSIELSKI Born in 1923 in Cracow, died in 2011 there. In 1940 he began regular studies at the Department of Decorative Painting at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Cracow, where he was a student of Stanislaw Kamocki. From an early age, he was fascinated by Eastern liturgy. At the First Exhibition of Modern Art in Cracow in 1948/49, he showed paintings maintained in the trend of geometric abstraction. During the years of Socialist Realism, he did not exhibit, dealing at that time with stage design and painting of Orthodox churches and churches. In 1955 in Lodz he presented his first solo exhibition, in 1956 he participated in the XXVIII Venice Biennale. From 1957 to 1962, he was a teacher at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Lodz, then at the Krakow Academy, where he taught at the Faculty of Painting until his retirement in 1993. his unique style is characterized by the use of a flat arrangement of color patches surrounded by a clean contour line and a synthesizing vision of everyday life; the iconic nature of his sacred paintings is based on the evocation of the mysticism of Ruthenian or Byzantine icons and geometric divisions that separate the center and side of the composition. He is the author of numerous polychrome paintings in churches (including the Holy Spirit Church in Nowe Tychy, the church in Wesoła near Warsaw, the church in Lourdes, France) and iconostasis (e.g., the Dormition of the Mother of God Church in Cracow; Cracow-Azory, 1978, the Holy Spirit Church in Tychy), the iconostasis of the Orthodox Church in Cracow (1972). In addition, works in numerous museum collections in Poland and in private collections (USA, Canada, France, Germany).
