Wojciech Fangor, abstract oil on painting, signed, dated and described on the reverse: FANGOR, SU 15, 1972, 47 x 47. Bearing a Galerie Chalette paper label to the backside. Galerie Chalette was a private contemporary art gallery in Manhattan, New York, USA. Wojciech Fangor, 1922 to 2015, was a Polish painter, graphic artist, sculptor and a co-creator of the Polish School of Posters. Born in Poland, a graduate in 1946 of the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, and a resident of the United States between 1966 and 1999, Wojciech Fangor became a modernist artist with a highly varied career. His work includes the creation of environments, architectural, scenery and poster designs, and themes of culture embracing both America and Poland, present and past. In the early part of his career, while in Poland, he focused on Social Realism, then in the 1950s turned to geometric abstraction and Op Art, especially challenged by form and color and the effect of his forms in space on viewers. In 1970, he became the first Polish artist to have a solo exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. One of a kind artwork, Contemporary Fine Art For Collectors.
