Andrzej Krystyn Wróblewski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈand͡ʐɛj vrubˈlɛfskʲi]; 15 June 1927 – 23 March 1957) was a Polish figurative painter who died in a mountaineering accident in 1957 when he was only 29. He is recognized by many as one of Poland's most prominent artists in the early post World War II era, creating a distinctly individualistic approach to representational art.
