Marek Włodarski worked as a painter, draughtsman, and educator, and is known for co-founding the avant-garde group Artes. His intimate, lyrical and radically anti-aesthetic work was formally influenced by the paintings of Fernand Léger and French Surrealism, while conceptually addressing the complex identity of Polish culture. Włodarski played an important role in working with the artistic phenomena that were of crucial significance to Central and Eastern Europe before, during, and after the Second World War.
