Igor Mitoraj (1944-2014) - Polish sculptor of international renown, known for his monumental heads and torsos inspired by ancient art. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow in the studio of Tadeusz Kantor. In 1968 he moved to Paris and then settled in Pietrasanta, Italy, where he developed his sculptural work in marble and bronze.
His works can be found in the public spaces of many cities around the world, including Paris, Rome, Pompeii, London and Krakow. A characteristic motif of his work is the fragmentation of form inspired by Greek and Roman sculpture.
