MovingSalad Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 About a year and a half ago I found out about Zdzislaw Beksinski from malchik (as one of this artist's works are in his avatar) And just today I remembered the name and looked at his site: http://www.beksinski.pl/ as mentioned before, some images in his galleries are disturbing. Then I looked him up on wikipedia, and found that he had been murdered! Stabbed, 17 times by a caretaker's tennage son because Beksinski refused a loan! I was somewhat taken aback, I knew of beksinski for a while and many pieces that he did I marveled at, but now, sadly I have read that he has died :( Perhaps it did occur quite a while ago, but warsaw is a long way away from Ottawa. While this topic seems somewhat pointless, I made it to raise awareness about this magnificent artist. There are so many paintings, drawings, photos and digital art on his website, have a look, but be prepared for a few disturbing images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phawk69 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Wow, that is some site. Did he ever do work for Heavy Metal? Sorry, that's blasphemy for a real artist, I know, but his stuff would fit right in. By the way MovingSalad, did you notice that you have a double 'your' in your tag yet? Or are you like police everywhere - do as I say and not as I do - keeping the prolitariate in line while doing whatever you want? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovingSalad Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 I'm glad you like his works, and no, I did not mean to make ther double your your thing. The Grammar Nazi Regime does not frown upon others that edit their mistakes. No, if you want to learn about his life go to the wikipedia link, supplied with my above post.
