«Born 1922 in Szczerzec near Lvov, died 1978 in Nice, France.
Oberländer — along with Jan Dziedziora, Jacek Sienicki, and Elżbieta Grabska — was an initiator and among the most active organizers of the „Against War, Against Fascism“ Polish National Exhibition of Young Visual Arts, held in July of 1955 at Warsaw's Arsenal just before the political „thaw“ of 1956. The idea for the exhibition was first put forward at a social gathering held at his small apartment in the Okolnik district of Warsaw(...)Throughout this time he was also painting and drawing, creating numerous works in which he gradually cast off his original brutality and focused on creating a more intimate mood. These were largely portraits that emphasized the psyche of his models, though he also painted genre scenes and still lifes and at times turned towards abstraction. In general, his works of this period were more variegated than previously. With time he began to deform the human figure more and more radically, though he retained it as a clear symbol of individual experience.»

Karl Stirner (November 14, 1923 – February 18, 2016) American sculptor known internationally for his metalwork…. Much of Karl Stirner’s work is considered to embody an abstract style. Stirner used his metalwork and steel sculptures to translate and express many of his inner feelings and thoughts. Stirner’s sculptures typically fall into two subcategories of the abstract: expressionism and constructivist. His expressionist sculptures have been described as “anxiety-ridden” while his constructivist sculptures have been described as “depressive”. This is because they appear to elicit depressive emotions and feelings of internal conflict. The “dream-like” aspect of his work is supposedly inspired by Stirner’s unconscious state.

Joseph Beuys; 12 May 1921 – 23 January 1986  was a German Fluxus, happening and performance artist as well as a sculptor, installation artist, graphic artist, art theorist and pedagogue of art.
His extensive work is grounded in concepts of humanism, social philosophy and anthroposophy; it culminates in his «extended definition of art» and the idea of social sculpture as a gesamtkunstwerk, for which he claimed a creative, participatory role in shaping society and politics. His career was characterized by passionate, even acrimonious public debate. He is now regarded as one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century.

«Alfredo Chighine was an Italian painter, born in Milan in 1914.In 1945 he studied engraving at the School of Decorative Arts in Monza, and later sculpture at the Brera Academy in Milan. In this period he met Giacomo Manzù and became his pupil.
Chighine’s career is linked to the history of Italian Art Informel, where he represented the naturalistic northern aspect. In his painting, he was particularly focused on creating a sensation of substance and light. In the early period of Art Informel this tendency was expressed in tangles and clots of colour applied with a spatula and infused with light, comparable to the work of Ennio Morlotti. „
