Jan Lebenstein
Jan Lebenstein (1930 — 1999 ) Polisch painter and graphic «Compositions (drawn and painted) depicted vertically oriented, highly simplified human figures. The figures were centrally located on the canvas, most often female, and in the drawings resembled insect-like creatures (Figure dans un interieur, 1956). His precise, detailed, even »anatomical" drawings shared something with the art of Wols, while their pictorial values (the near autonomy he granted to material, the richness of tones in his usually narrow and seemingly unimpressive color range placed them on par with works created at the same time by Polish artists Zbigniew Tymoszewski and Rajmund Ziemski."
