Władysław Hasior
Władysław Hasior ( born May 14, 1928 in Nowy Sacz, † July 14, 1999 in Kraków ) was a Polish sculptor, painter, stage designer.
Hasior learned artistic woodworking in the State Lyceum of the artistic techniques in Zakopane at Antoni Kenar ( 1906-1959 ). Then he began to study at the Faculty of Sculpture of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in Marian Wnuk. As a thesis he created the twelve scenes from the Passion for the parish church in Nowy Sacz. After studying in Warsaw, he returned to Zakopane and became a professional teacher at Antoni Kenar.
Since 1957 he has participated in Art Exhibitions in Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Oslo, Montevideo, São Paulo, Helsinki, Vienna, Venice, Copenhagen, Brussels and Moscow.
In 1959 he received a scholarship from the French Ministry of Culture and studied in Paris with Ossip Zadkine.
1960-1965 he created figurative sculptures: " Niobe ", " The Guest", "The Spy ," " The interrogation of an angel ." Thereafter he devoted himself to abstract sculpture. Often he used waste materials, misused items that he put together to Assemblages. In the middle of the landscape he put huge constructions, often declared as monuments. He looked at the fire, water and sound as elements of these sculptures. In the case of " organs " in Czorsztyńskie Hasior has provided the installation of organ pipes, which should produce the whistling wind, the idea was not realized.
