Description

Alfred Lenica is a Polish Avant-Garde painter who was in close contact with the members of a second Krakow group (Tadeusz Kantor, Tadeusz Brzozowski, Kazimierz Mikulski and Jerzy Nowosielsk) and a founding member of the 4F+R group. In his pre-war work he combined features of Surrealism, Expressionism and Abstraction, while after the war he returned to figuration. Overall, experimentation remained predominant in his work. Alfred Lenica’s works have been part of many exhibitions and collections at home and abroad, including the Museum of Art, Łódź; Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw; Poland; Galerie Ferrero, Geneva, Switzerland; Gallery Arsenał, Poznań, Poland; Palace of Arts, Kraków, Poland; Municipal Gallery of Contemporary Art, Belgrade, Serbia; National Museum, Warsaw, Poland; New York D'Arcy Galleries, New York, USA; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, UK; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen, Denmark; National Museum, Wrocław, Poland and Olomouc Museum of Art, Czech Republic. Early in his career, Alfred Lenica painted figurative scenes, mainly still lifes and landscapes, following the example of cubism. After World War II, his practice moved towards Abstraction and Tachisme. In 1948, he took part in the first Exhibition of Modern Art in Kraków, organised by Tadeusz Kantor, which set him on the path he subsequently followed in painting.
