ARTC311 M001 INTERMIDATE 3D MODELING / FALL 2007 - Section One. Project 1.

I chose Julian Stanczak as the subject for my review. Stanczak was born in eastern Poland in 1928. At the beginning of World War II, Stanczak was forced into a Siberian labor camp, where he permanently lost the use of his right arm (he had been right-handed). In 1942, Stanczak (age 13) escaped from Siberia to join the Polish army-in-exile in Persia. After deserting from the army, he spent his teenage years in a hut in a Polish refugee camp in Uganda, Africa. It was in Africa that Stanczak learned to paint (left-handed). He moved to England and then the United States, where he eventually settled in Cleveland.
I like Stanczaks use of verying lines and wieght in his art. By controlng the length and width of the line he creates simple yet dizzing optical effects that can not only blur, but also weave around the viewers eye.
