  • Henryk Stazewski
  • Painter Henryk Stazewski (1894-1988) was associated with the most important Polish avant-garde groups: Blok (1924–1926), Praesens (1926–1929), and a.r. (1929–1936). He was editor-in-chief of the first five issues of the periodical Blok in 1924. During the early 1920s, he painted simplified, almost monochrome still lifes. In 1924 he abandoned this style for a completely abstract one based on geometric shapes and strong vertical and horizontal lines. Beginning in the 1920s, Stazewski frequently traveled to Paris, where he met the Dutch abstract painter Piet Mondrian and joined the 'Cercle et Carré' and 'Abstraction-Création' groups of abstract artists.
