Marek Oberländer (Szczerzec near Lviv 1922 - Nice 1978) served in the Red Army during the war. In 1946-48 he studied at the High School of Fine Arts in Warsaw. Then in 1948-53 he studied at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. In 1955, together with Elżbieta Grabska, Jan Dziędziora and Jacek Sienicki, he was co-organizer of the All-Polish Exhibition of Young Visual Arts, which under the name "Arsenal" entered the legend of Polish contemporary art. One of the symbols of the "Arsenal" attitude and style became the Oberländer's painting Stigmatized, shown at this exhibition. In 1956-61, the artist managed a gallery operating under the auspices of cultural and social weeklies, successively: "Po Prostu", "Nowa Kultura" and "Współ-czesność". In 1963 he left for Sweden, and in 1964 settled in France. He lived in Paris and Nice, where he died prematurely of a heart attack. He donated a selection of the best works from his artistic output to the National Museum in Wroclaw in 1977. In the 1950s he created figural compositions
