Kazimierz Mikulski (Kraków 1918 - Kraków 1998) began painting studies before World War II at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow, he continued it in 1939-1940 under the supervision of prof. Friedrich Pautsch in the Kunstgewerbeschule, created during the occupation in place of the Academy. After the war, he completed two-year acting studies at the Dramatic Studio at the Old Theater in Krakow and until 1948 he worked as an actor. At the same time, in 1945 he graduated from the Youth Film Workshop. In 1948-1979 he was the artistic director and stage designer of the Groteska Theater in Krakow, for which he designed dolls, costumes, decorations, etc. At the same time, he was constantly painting and working in the circle of Tadeusz Kantor, at first as a member of the Young Artists Group, and from 1957 in the Krakow Group, of which he was a co-founder and president in the years 1965-1967. He was also a member of the Cricot 2 theater group in the performances The Water Hen, Nadobnisie and Talapoin, The Dead Class and in his own play Circus. In his paintings from the second half 1940s the artist presented light, linear forms floating in empty spaces. It was both surreal and abstract painting. But already around 1950 he began painting in a characteristic way - rejecting abstraction, he presented countless variants and arrangements of several favorite motifs (head or figure of a woman-doll, cats, butterflies)
