Jerzy Faczynski

Picked up this painting recently by Jerzy Faczynski (1917-1995) a Polish born British based artist who lived and worked for a time in Liverpool and painted and sketched street scenes including churches using a variety of media. He also designed book covers for Penguin notably Pnin by Nabakov in 1960.

What we love about this picture is that it has a spooky, magical story type feel to it straight out of the Brothers Grimm. What's in those woods and where is that path going? You can imagine it in a story book or as a still from an animated film. Fabulous.
