so what this site more or less says is that Z. Beksinski was murdered in his apartment in Warsaw last night. The police say he was stabbed at least a dozen of times. Apparently he was murdered by someone who knew him well. The body was found before midnight by his family when they realized something was wrong since he didn't answer the phone calls. There was a perfect order in his apartment and probably nothing was stolen. Motives of the crime remain unknown. There are no tracks of the murderer either.
Then they quote Beksinski from his last exhibition that took place in 2002. He said something like this: 'We all face the problem of death. I'm no exception. Personally I dread more dying rather than death itself. It is not a fear of non-existence but of pain, and that's what I'm afraid of most'.
Then they write a bit about his life and his art...
So sad.

Polish artist Beksinski found murdered

BEKSINSKI FOUND DEAD

WARSAW (Reuters) - Polish contemporary artist Zdzislaw Beksinski, famed
for his haunting fantasy paintings, has been found murdered at his
home, police say.

Police said on Tuesday that they found multiple wounds on Beksinski's
body, discovered at his flat in a prestigious Warsaw neighbourhood.

"His body was found late last night by his family. He had several
wounds, some on his chest, which could have been caused by for example
a dagger," police spokeswoman Zuzanna Talar said.

The 75-year-old artist became famous around Europe and Japan in the
1970s and 80s for his paintings that depicted disfigured objects or
people against a background of hazy romantic light.

"He was one of the best known artists of Poland. He created a language,
a climate of horror and secrecy in his paintings. He engaged people's
imaginations and it was very convincing," said Katarzyna
Nowakowska-Sito, curator of modern art at Warsaw's National Museum.

Beksinski, born in the south-east town of Sanok in 1929, was also a
photographer and sculptor, and drew pictures that were often compared
to the work of Austrian Ernst Fuchs, the founder of a fantastic-realism
school.

Θα επανέρθω.....

Θα πω μόνο δύο λόγια που είναι γνωστά σε εκείνους που ξέρουν κάποια πράγματα για εκείνον..
Ο άνθρωπος Beksinski μεταφέρει το στίγμα μιας ανθρωπότητας.. ενός λαού, ενός ανθρώπου που τον έχει σημαδέψει και που κουβαλάει επάνω του την φρίκη της ίδιας της ζωής.. Τον πόλεμο...

Beksinski's body, which sustained multiple stab wounds, was found inside his Warsaw flat. Three days later, police charged two teenagers with the slaying. One suspect, the son of Beksinski's friend and aide, confessed to killing the painter.

Born in Sanok, Poland, Beksinski studied architecture at the Cracow University of Technology. He soon developed a passion for artistic pursuits, such as painting, sculpting, photography and drawing. Working to the strains of classical music, Beksinski created intricately detailed pieces of surreal art. In the 1970s and 1980s, he became popular in fantasy art circles for his nightmarish paintings of cemeteries, alien creatures and apocalyptic scenes.

Although he was often compared to Ernst Fuchs, the Austrian founder of a fantastic-realism school, and Swiss artist H.R. Giger, Beksinski was a contemporary master in his own right. Exhibitions of his always-untitled work appeared in the United States, Europe and Japan, and collectors paid thousands for a single canvas. His book, "The Fantastic Art of Beksinski," was published in 1998.

Prior to moving to Warsaw in 1977, Beksinski burned several of his paintings because they failed to meet his exacting standards or were "too personal." His wife, Zofia, died in 1998. A year later, on Christmas Eve, his son Tomasz committed suicide.
