Boleslaw Biegas, Polish, 1877 to 1954, oil painting on canvas depicting a night seascape scene with two mermaids. Signed, lower right. Framed. Boleslaw Biegas was a Polish artist, known for Modernist female figure sculpture and painting. Boleslaw Biegas, whose real name was Biegalski, was a Symbolist painter, sculptor, writer and playwright born in 1877 in Koziczyn, near Warsaw, Poland, and died in Paris in 1954. Hailed as a new Giotto, like Berger, after studying at Krakows Academy of Fine Arts, he joined the Viennese Secession, before settling in Paris in his rue de Bagneux studio. His primitive looking, monolithic, totemic sculpture is reminiscent of dark, spiritual imagery, the cycles of which are numerous: mysterious castles, infinite mysticism, war vampires recalling Balkan legends. One of a kind artwork.
