In 1959 they organize an exhibition in Gliwice which becomes known as “The Anti-Photography” and where Beksinski displays fifteen of his works. Having finished his studies in Cracovia with a degree in architecture, Beksinski goes back to his native city in Sanok and founds with some friends a photographers’ collective. His first photographic works are shot with an Icorett Zeiss during the communist occupation of Poland and they portray principally subjects that are close to the artist: narrow streets, wooden walls, isolated people overwhelmed by the surrounding architecture. Zdzislaw Beksinski wasn’t just an artist but indeed a multifaceted creator in the true sense of the word: the Polish polymath started his artistic career as a photographer but later became interested in painting which will turn into his focal activity from the beginning of the sixties until later during his life, with a brief parenthesis as a sculptor.
