Abstract
Born in Lodz in Russian Poland on January 10th 1893, having lived in France since 1911, Waldemar Jarocinski, called Waldemar-George, rapidly became one of the most influential art critics between the two World Wars. His name is linked to the Ecole de Paris of which he was as a young man one of the promoters, and to the neo-humanist movement for which he was a passionate champion during the years 1930. Opposed to the abstract art as well as to any distorted figurative art, after the second World-War Waldemar-George finally admitted the informal or tachisme tendency as satisfactory enough for his unremitting quest for man through art. In spite of his being the author of thousands of articles, prefaces, presentations of exhibitions and numerous essays, Waldemar-George still remains unknown. This is the first article trying to present a biographic synthesis with the essential help of the texts of Waldemar-George himself, mainly those which can be found in a substantial file deposited in the Institut Memoires de l’edition contemporaine (IMEC) by his grandson.
