His beginnings were devoted to figurative painting and were severely restricted during the Second World War. Despite the difficult conditions, Fangor took private painting lessons and received his diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1946. After this classically oriented academic training, his style was obliged to “Socialist Realism” until he developed his own pictorial language with the relaxation of the political climate after the death of Stalin. Thus, in the 1950s, he began to detach form and color from their representational assignment, while exploring space as artistic material and making it an integral part of his work. Together with the architect Stanis?aw Zamecznik, Fangor devised a radical intervention entitled “Studium des Raums” (1958), in which abstract paintings were arranged on free-standing racks in an outdoor space in a kind of environment. The paintings were incorporated into the surroundings in order to structure the space according to phenomenological aspects and make it physically tangible. As a co-founder of the Polish School of Poster Art, he explored graphic design tools until, finally, having fully arrived in abstract art, his work centered on optical effects and visual phenomena of perception. He emigrated to the United States in the mid-1960s and did not return to Poland until the fall of the Iron Curtain in the 1990s. His major painterly work was created during the 1960s and 1970s, when he pursued his fascination with optical illusions and made the interplay between space and color the subject of his artistic investigations. Pulsating Circles and Space Outside the Picture Based on experiments with sensory experiences, Fangor created fascinating and confusing effects to activate the pictorial space through color and light, which at the same time affected the subjective spatial impression of the viewer. Motifs such as circles, waves and stripes appear to have been sprayed on with an airbrush, but are in fact the product of the finest brushwork. In their arrangement, he repeatedly tested the effect of bright and muted colors in ever new ways, varying the degree of saturation and brightness. Surrounded by hazy, blurred edges, circles, for example, expand in a pulsating manner, only to retreat back to a core. Contours dissolve into diffuse, vibrant color gradients, creating moments of spatial uncertainty. Through this dynamization of forms between expansion and concentration, they interact with space: Fangor's works seem to overcome two-dimensionality and take on a “new dimension,” as Josef Albers, Fangor's friend and most prominent advocate, recognized. (cited from Waleczek, Agata: “These pictures are a test for your optic nerve” in: Die Welt 24.09.2017, https://www.welt.de/kultur/kunst/article168980866/ (10.10.2024)) When viewed for a long time, the rings in Fangor's painting “B23” change: they swell up and detach themselves from the white painting surface as independent, voluminous manifestations, to jump back and forth and float above it in isolation. The reality of Fangor's “positive illusory space”, as he called it, can only be experienced physically and mentally, outside the boundaries of the image. The optical effects introduced by Fangor both irritate and heighten perception, corresponding to the psychedelic hallucinations widely used in the US counterculture at the time to expand consciousness. In 1970, the Guggenheim Museum was the first to honor this innovative artist with a comprehensive solo exhibition. “If I have achieved anything in painting, it is not in the sense of a meaningful sign, but in the realm of sensual visual experience.” (Wojciech Fangor in a letter to his wife Krystyna, 1969, quoted from: fangorfoundation.org).

As a result, honest wear from use is to be expected and is sometimes the proof that an item is an antique. Normal wear will not be noted in the description. e) Artwork: Because artwork is known to be copied from pre-existing examples, the dating of such objects is often difficult to ascertain and opinions vary from expert to expert. Due to this, RBFineArts CFL Inc strongly suggests all potential bidders or a representative to meticulously inspect any and all items prior to bidding.

REGISTRATION: Bidder must register for the Auction before his/her bid will be accepted. Proper identification and credit card information will be required. Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to register any prospective bidder for any reason. CUSTOMER AND CLIENT CONDUCT: While visiting our gallery to preview auction items, to pick up any items, or to drop off any items, should you act in a way that causes offense or might cause danger to others or which risks damage to property belonging to others you will be asked to promptly leave, and face law enforcement being called. Further, RBFineArts CFL Inc reserves the right to hold you liable for reimbursement for any expenses incurred because of any damage or injury.

ABSENTEE BIDS: Please adhere to the bidding increments. It is possible that an item could go to another bidder for the same amount as your absentee bid. For example, if your maximum Internet bid on an item is $325.00 and the required opening bid is $300.00, the Internet auction software will only bid $300.00 since that is all that is required to start the Auction. The Auction begins with you at $300.00. The next increment would be $325.00, if no one else bids you will be declared the winner. If a live auction bidder bids $325.00, they are at $325.00, not you. We always encourage bidders to bid by phone or to leave absentee bids through our gallery to avoid this. To make an absentee bid with our physical location instead of an online absentee bid, please call the storefront at 1-877-660-3271 or (352) 508-5738. AUCTION PROCEDURES: RBFineArts CFL Inc. auctions items at approximately 60 lots per hour. Occasionally, the bidding software or your internet connection may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction or the floor may respond before the internet bid is presented to the auctioneer. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid for the live Internet auction before the auction begins as insurance to avoid this. Occasionally, the Auctioneer may eliminate or reject an Internet bid, or the auctioneer may reopen a lot after the close of the live internet bidding. In this case, we may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via the internet, you agree that RBFineArts CFL Inc. may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances.

Wojciech Fangor (1922 Warschau - 2015 ebenda) (F) 'Circle', Pastellkreide auf Papier, 65 cm x 50 cm Blattmaß, signiert, 75 datiert, partiell leicht knickfaltig, montiert, verso leicht fleckig, Provenienz: Galerie Chalette, New York (verso Galerieetikett) Der aus Warschau stammende Künstler Wojciech Fangor arbeitete mit Farbe. Eben dies ist das Hauptelement seiner Kunst. Sicherlich wuchs der Künstler auch in politisch schwierigen Situationen auf, wie dem 2. Weltkrieg. Sein Kunstunterricht, den er beim Portraitmaler Tadeusz Pruszkowski und bei dem Maler und Bildhauer Felicjan Szczesny Kowarski erhielt, erlaubte ihm dafür den Zugang zu einer anderen Welt. Mit den Jahren wandte sich der Künstler den verschiedenen Kunststilen zu und entwickelte selbst eine Hinwendung zum sozialistischen Realismus. Die optische Kunst löste ihn jedoch von allen motivischen Geschehen und bewies sich in mehreren erfolgreichen Ausstellungen. Sein 'Positive Illusory Space' beinhaltete leuchtende Farben und kaum zu erkennende Konturen. An diesem 'Space' arbeitete der Künstler seit den 1950er Jahren und blieb dabei. Ebenso gehört auch die vorliegende Pastellzeichnung zu diesem Repertoire des Künstlers und zeigt in der eigenen Einfachheit die Schönheit und Eleganz abgestimmter kolorierter Linienführungen. English Transaltion: Wojciech Fangor (1922 Warsaw - 2015 ibid.) (F) 'Circle', pastel on paper, 65 cm x 50 cm sheet dimension, signed, dated 75, partially slighty creased, mounted, slightly stained verso, Provenance: Galerie Chalette, New York (gallery label verso) The Warsaw-born artist Wojciech Fangor worked with colour. This is the main element of his art. Certainly, the artist also grew up in politically difficult situations, such as the Second World War. His art lessons, which he received from the portrait painter Tadeusz Pruszkowski and the painter and sculptor Felicjan Szczesny Kowarski, allowed him access to another world. Over the years, the artist turned to different styles of art and developed a taste for socialist realism himself. Optical art, however, detached him from all motivic events and proved itself in several successful exhibitions. His 'Positive Illusory Space' included bright colours and barely discernible contours. The artist worked on this 'Space' since the 1950s and stuck to it. Likewise, the present pastel drawing also belongs to this repertoire of the artist and shows in its own simplicity the beauty and elegance of coordinated coloured lines.
