Painter. He received notoriety as a Polish painter in the mid-20th century, excelling in modern art, which documented a historical perspective of World War II and its brutalities. Most of his 150 paintings are in Polish museums. In his earliest paintings, he was classified as a “colorist” using bold colors with a lesser focus on the subject. By the end of the 1940s, he had rebelled against the traditional and academic techniques of painting to a very modern viewpoint. In 1948 he was recognized at the First Exhibition of Modern Art in Krakow, which followed with two more local exhibitions. With his rebellious attitude, he created the Self-Teaching Art School as a unit of the Association of Polish Academic Youth at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts, which inspired many y oung artists such as painter Andrzej Strumiłło and film director Andrzej Wajda. For a short period after 1947, he experimented, in order to develop a means of expression, in oil painting and gouaches, which is a technique of painting with opaque watercolors prepared with gum. With an interest remaining in modern art, his works consist of geometric art, surrealism, and abstract art. In 1948 he produced a series of paintings called the “ Chauffeur,” using only shades of red, white, and blue, which was the color he used to denote the dead. This series contains a double-sided canvas piece with the first of the series, “Blue Chauffeur,” on one side and “Liquidation of the Ghetto” on the other. He was an independent thinker, and his paintings d rew other talented artist to gain independence. The 1948 paintings, “The Sky Over the Mountains” and “Blue, Blue Sky” and the 1949 “Segmenty” are among his geometric pieces. Done in remembrance of the Poles who were executed during the Nazi Invasion in 1939, the “Executions” was an eight-painting series. His most noted painting of this series is the oil-on-canvas painting of a young boy standing stiff with fear, while dead bodies of cadaver-like hues of a cold blue surround him ; the aggressor's gun is not seen. One of his most famous works, “Mother with Dead Child,” has a mother holding to her heart a toddler, which was painted blue with a brown spot on the child's back denoting a gunshot wound. Ano ther series features street-life in the Polish People’s Republic brought to a standstill by the news of Joseph Stalin’s death on March 5, 1953. After Stalin's death, the Communist control over the arts lessened, thus he was more hopeful and this appeared in his paintings, especially after the birth of his son. He also painted a series covering the tragic flooding in the Netherlands. With passion for art literature, he published over 80 articles in periodicals such as the “Artists Voice,” “Arts Review,” “Creativity,” “Literary Life,” and the local newspaper. Besides paintings, he produced 140 drawings. Born the son of Bronislaw Wróblewski, a law professor at the Stefan Batory University, and his wife Krystyna, who was a well-known graphic artist, his artistic talent was recognized early in his life. His formal education was interrupted by the Nazi invasion of Poland, yet he was fortunate to be well-educated by attending underground schools and being home schooled. In the August that he was 14, he witnessed his father's death from a heart attack while Nazis raided his home. Since the border of Poland was changed after the war, his family relocated to Krakow to remain in the country of Poland. The horrors of war profoundly affected his view of the world the rest of his life. After reaching Krakow, he passed the entrance ex amination to become a student in 1945 at the Painting and Sculpture Department at the Academy of Fine Arts and for two years, at Jagiellonian University studying history. He finished his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1952. He died from an accident while hiking in the Tatra Mountains, which are located on the remote southern border of Poland and the Slovak Republic. Although he has had numerous posthumous solo exhibitions over the years in the museums in Poland, he had his debut in the United Kingdom with a posthumous one-man exhibition in London in the spring of 2018. Internationally, a few of his paintings have been part of other exhibitions. An international seminar on Wróblewski's life and work was held in the Netherlands in 2010 and Warsaw in 2012. There are been at least two books published from these international events, in addition to one published in 2014 by the Andrzej Wróblewski Foundation.
