/^t/Painters have always been very controversial personages. Their views on life, people or God have been argued about, and so they have made people more considerate in sensitive. Jerzy Duda-Gracz is one of the most famous painters in contemporary Poland. His paintings say more about us than philosophical tracts. He shows the world of existential despair where a person cannot find his/her internal harmony. Humour is to be the protection against deep distress. By means of painting he talks to people, about people and about Poland. The fact that he lives in the country, away from 'civilised' citizens, does not make him less famous. His works have scandalised and astonished, excited and disturbed people. Certainly, however, they have made people think about our existence on the Earth.
