Looking
The Inhuman Land


Józef Czapski

Józef Czapski (1896–1993) was a painter and writer. Imprisoned in a Soviet camp between 1939 and 1941, he described the experience in Wspomnienia starobielskie. He fought as a Polish Army soldier in Russia and was part of a group ordered to find missing Polish officers. Since 1945 he lived in Paris and co-founded Kultura, the most important Polish emigré magazine covering political, social and cultural themes, issued monthly in the years 1948-2000. He wrote essays on art and literature (Oko, Patrząc, Czytając), as well as memoirs.
