Nikifor Krynicki or Epifaniy Drovniak – personality phenomenon
Abstract
The article is dedicated to the phenomenal artist Nikifor Krynytskyi, a representative of the naive art from the Polish town of Krynica-Zdrój. His paintings were globally acknowledged and recognized, but the self-taught painter was not aware of this until the end of his life. Being deaf-mute since birth and almost illiterate, he conveyed his attitude to the world around him with his unsurpassed paintings. The article deals with the issues of his life and artistic journey as well as the question of the artist’s real name and his nationality.
