Agnieszka Szewczyk

Agnieszka Szewczyk is a historian, curator, author, and editor, specializing in post- World War II art, with particular emphasis on archives and biographies. She lives in Warsaw.

Having cast off the Colorism and Art Informel influences imputed to her art, in the mid-1960s Pągowska began to speak in her own voice. Her freely imagined, abstract painterly human bodies emerge. Not the figure, but the body itself, allowing us to sense its volume and materiality.
