The most popular Polish post-war painter, Zdzisław Beksiński. In June 2021, a temporary exhibition of the artist's works was opened at the Archdiocesan Museum in Warsaw. The paintings come from the collection of Piotr and Anna Dmochowski, as well as the museum itself. This is the exhibition we will see during the tour. Zdzisław Beksiński (1929-2005) is definitely a creator who evokes immense emotions. Interest in the painter far exceeds that of painting enthusiasts, not only because the master was also involved in design, sculpture, and photography. It is simply hard to remain indifferent to the work of the artist from Sanok. Moreover, his work has inspired many creations in the realm of pop culture: films, video games, Virtual Reality programs, as well as tattoos. From the vast amount of archival materials left behind, a figure emerges who highly values creative independence. The painter was so reluctant to depend on the opinions of others that he very rarely, and if he did, very reluctantly commented on his art. He could also be found at his exhibitions only occasionally and rather at the beginning of his painting career. The artist's dealer from Sanok was Piotr Dmochowski, a Parisian lawyer born in Poland, who for many years ran galleries of Beksiński's paintings in the French capital. The relationship between the painter and the dealer was often very tumultuous, although it must be admitted that Dmochowski was deeply involved in promoting Beksiński both financially and by dedicating a large part of his life to him. A film was even made, which premiered at the Cannes festival. Currently, Piotr and Anna Dmochowski own the largest private collection of the artist's works. I have been guiding tours of Beksiński's exhibitions for almost two years now, but during each tour, I am always intrigued by the level of emotions his paintings evoke, as well as the multitude of impressions and interpretations from the participants. Visiting Beksiński's exhibition is an interesting experience. However, visiting the exhibition with a guide and the opportunity to share impressions and ask questions is often a deeply moving and intriguing experience. I am a guide with 14 years of experience. I conduct 27 different thematic tours in Polish and English. I am a lover of art, history, cinema, and music. I have designed and guide three different tours about Beksiński's work. See you on the tour! Paweł Mrozowicz
