Wladyslaw Strzeminski
Belarus (1893—1952)After losing his forearm in WWI, Strzemiński turned to art, first painting in Poland and later in Vilnius. Deeply influenced by Constructivism, he co-founded the group Blok with Berlewi and went on to develop Unism, bringing together his ideas on painting with those of music. His theoretical principles were later collected in Theory of Vision. He was also a founder of the a.r. group and became a teacher at the Higher School of Plastic Arts and Design in Łódź, where he designed the Neoplastic Room, completed in 1948 and dismantled in 1950.
