One of my favorite painters is Zdzisław Beksiński — (24 February 1929 – 21 February 2005) was a Polish painter, photographer and sculptor Beksiński avoided concrete analysis of the content of his work, saying “I cannot conceive of a sensible statement on painting”. He was especially dismissive of those who sought or offered simple answers to what his work ‘meant’.  His work speaks for itself, transcending any attempt to classify or describe with words.
