Abstract
Andrzej Wróblewski (1927-1957) was a distinguishing Polish painter, art historian and art critic. Painful war experience overshadowed his whole short and tragic life during which he fought against the mystery of pain and the fumes of trauma. However, he managed to lead two lives - the one before and the one after the Second World War that somehow intertwined in his memories and art. He didn't want to collect painful memories and experiences, instead he represented the world in a haptic and literal manner using abstract figuration. His aim was to create a new social art, which would be a kind of intensified realism that evokes a need for action here and now. Pain was not a subject of art; visualized it became rather a fundamental means of dealing with its effects on non-dramatic level.
