His artistic education was disrupted by the Second World War, which later on pushed him into practicing socialist realism as a painter. Between 1953 and 1961 he was employed as assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. At the same time, he was also active as a designer of posters using collages, texts, drawings and photography, and became one of the founders of the Polish School of Posters. Although successful in these fields, Fangor decided to shift his attention to spatial experiments. In 1958 he constructed the first \u201cenvironment\u201d ever made, A Study of Space. These experiments gradually resulted in his abstract illusionist paintings with diffused edges of color and shape. After short stays in Vienna, Paris, Bath, London and Berlin, Fangor moved to the US in 1966, where he participated in important exhibitions such as \u2018The Responsive Eye\u2019 at MoMA in 1965, and had a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in 1970. After his retirement as professor of art at the Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, he returned to Poland in 1999. He continued to make art and in 2014 designed murals for the station walls of the Warsaw Underground. He died in 2015 near Warsaw.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 531px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 531px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%; height: 531px;\">\n<div id=\"attachment_13043\" style=\"width: 327px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13043\" class=\"wp-image-13043\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/WF5-211x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/WF5-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/WF5-721x1024.jpg 721w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/WF5-768x1090.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/WF5-1082x1536.jpg 1082w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/WF5-1443x2048.jpg 1443w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/WF5-scaled.jpg 1804w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ballada o \u017co\u0142nierzu, ink on paper, 1959<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;

His artistic education was disrupted by the Second World War, which later on pushed him into practicing socialist realism as a painter. Between 1953 and 1961 he was employed as assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. At the same time, he was also active as a designer of posters using collages, texts, drawings and photography, and became one of the founders of the Polish School of Posters. Although successful in these fields, Fangor decided to shift his attention to spatial experiments. In 1958 he constructed the first \u201cenvironment\u201d ever made, A Study of Space. These experiments gradually resulted in his abstract illusionist paintings with diffused edges of color and shape. After short stays in Vienna, Paris, Bath, London and Berlin, Fangor moved to the US in 1966, where he participated in important exhibitions such as \u2018The Responsive Eye\u2019 at MoMA in 1965, and had a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in 1970. After his retirement as professor of art at the Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, he returned to Poland in 1999. He continued to make art and in 2014 designed murals for the station walls of the Warsaw Underground. He died in 2015 near Warsaw.\n[caption id=\"attachment_13043\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"317\"] Ballada o \u017co\u0142nierzu, ink on paper, 1959[\/caption]\n[caption id=\"attachment_13017\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"333\"] SM19, oil on canvas, 1975[\/caption]\n[caption id=\"attachment_13044\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"317\"] S\u0142o\u0144ce \u015bwieci dla wszystkich, ink on paper, 1963[\/caption]\n \nDu 18 novembre 2023 au 14 f\u00e9vrier 2024Ouvert du mercredi au samedi de 12h \u00e0 18h&#x1f4cd; GNYP Gallery Antwerp Jan Van Rijswijcklaan 112 2018 Anvers\n \n\u00a0"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2023\/12\/14\/exhibition-wojciech-fangor-and-his-contemporaries-1960-1995\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/su22b-w800h600@2x.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/11\/su22b-w800h600@2x.jpg","width":1600,"height":1200},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2023\/12\/14\/exhibition-wojciech-fangor-and-his-contemporaries-1960-1995\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Exhibition: Wojciech Fangor and his contemporaries, 1960-1995"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Brukseli","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/984dd022fbfcd6067a7db18507c1a8a0","name":"strzelkak","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9298b7f62ba7ec82cb10b70cf5a60e1a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/9298b7f62ba7ec82cb10b70cf5a60e1a?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"strzelkak"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/strzelkak\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/191"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13106"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14404,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13106\/revisions\/14404"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
