This is an automatically translated description

A Ukrainian by birth and one of the most prominent Polish artists of the twentieth century, an abstractionist and a master of specificity, a worldview traditionalist and an artistic revolutionary, an icon painter and author of hundreds of nudes, a deep religious thinker and a sado-masochistic fantasist, a shy professor of the Academy and a scandalous alcoholic - all this is Jerzy Nowosielski, a "bat in the temple" crucified between heavenly and earthly love, whose life full of adventures and upheavals is recreated by Krystyna Cherni in this very frank and at the same time very tactful book.
