Life and career Kaczanowski was born in Warsaw, Poland, on May 15, 1932. He studied at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. One of his most remarkable works is a monumental mural at the Auschwitz Cultural Center, commemorating the victims of the Holocaust - one of the largest of its kind in Europe. In 1964, Kaczanowski was awarded a scholarship to travel to Paris by the Ministerstwo Kultury (Polish Ministry of Culture). However, the Ministry of Public Security discovered that he had smuggled a text by Stanisław Mackiewicz with him to France, which was subsequently printed in Kultura. As a result Kaczanowski was barred from re-entering Poland. Witold-K received an award from The American Congress for the Freedom of Culture, in Paris in 1964. After receiving the award, he was not allowed to return to Poland for many years. He moved to New York City in 1968. In 1969, he relocated to California and briefly occupied the home of Abigail Folger and Wojciech Frykowski (both later murdered at 10050 Cielo Drive by the followers of Charles Manson) and opened his first studio and gallery in Beverly Hills (9406 Wilshire Boulevard). He also lived and worked in Santa Fe, New Mexico…Citește mai mult
