Dark Claustrophobia

Untitled by Zdzisław Beksiński (1929 - 2005)

notable works by Zdzisław Beksiński

Although Beksiński's art was extremely dark, in person he was known as pleasant, taking pleasure from conversation and many friends enjoyed his quick wit. The final few years of his life were bleak for Beksiński, his wife died after a long painful battle with cancer and his son, Tomasz, committed suicide. In 2005 the son of Beksiński's assistant hacked him to death because he wouldn't lend him the money for a rock concert.
