Description
Josef Halas (1927 - 2015) was a Polish modern artist, known for his paintings, drawings, and illustrations. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw, where he later became a professor. He was a co-founder of the Group X of abstract painters, alongside Alfons Mazurkiewicz, and a member of the Wroclaw Group.
Halas’ paintings often employ irregular geometries and carefully structured layers, synthesising natural landscapes through textures and colours. His drawings, such as Untitled, expand the artist’s poetics of abstraction through a further reduction to monochrome environments.
Josef Halas has exhibited widely in Poland and abroad such as in Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Germany, Iran, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom. In 1981, he was part of the 16th International Art Biennale in São Paulo, Brazil. His works are part of important private and public collections, including that of the National Museum in Wroclaw.
