Tadeusz Kantor was one of the most eminent 20th-century Polish artists—a painter, stage designer, director, art theorist, and creator of the legendary Cricot 2 theatre. His work exerted a profound influence on the international avant-garde. In painting and drawing, he experimented with medium, texture, and form, creating works hovering between abstraction and expressionism. Kantor’s works are housed in major museum collections worldwide and are among the most valuable achievements of post-war Polish art.
