“My Name is Maryan” is the first exhaustive retrospective surveying the entire life and work of the late Polish artist Maryan. Including 40 years’ worth of paintings, drawings, film, and sculptures, Maryan—born Pinkas Bursztyn, but renaming himself at the end of World War II—created a unique painting practice that spoke to his personal biography, including experiences of traumatic loss and surviving the Holocaust. While exploring the artist’s creative evolution and trajectory, “My Name is Maryan” expands upon a larger narrative that acknowledges the artist’s deserved place in postwar European and American art history.
