Bus Driver

Andrzej Wróblewski was one of Poland's most outstanding and most independent postwar artists. He created his own individual, highly suggestive, and prolific formula of figurative painting that became an inspiration and reference point for several generations of artists who came after him. Andrzej Wróblewski undertook to enforce the new social and political tasks of art while still a student at the Academy of Fine Arts. His aim was to work out his own formula for “exponential realism” based on the idea of a communicative, expressive message. Bus Driver is Wróblewski’s third work of art – next to Blue Driver (1948) and Driver with Red Landscape – presenting the world as seen by a bus driver.
