Jan Malik

 Not long ago Jan Malik died in Cracow. He was a real artist who wasn't worried about exhibitions or selling his stuff, he just carved it and hanged on the wall in his room. He never tried to sell his sculptures. Sometimes one could persuade to do so, but even then he parted with his sculptures with difficulty, as if they were his children. I have seen the wall in his room because he happened to be a family friend and I sometimes paid a visit. I once tried to make a few photos of several sculptures but the pictures didn't come out well. However, my brother Przemek on another occasion succeeded.
