Informations from Wikipedia:
Zdzisław Beksiński (24 February 1929 – 21 February 2005) was a renowned Polish painter, photographer, and sculptor. Beksiński executed his paintings and drawings either in what he called a 'Baroque' or a 'Gothic' manner. The first style is dominated by representation, with the best-known examples coming from his fantastic realism period when he painted disturbing images of a surrealistic, nightmarish environment. The second style is more abstract, being dominated by form, and is typified by Beksiński's later paintings.
Beksiński was murdered in 2005.

Sums it all up for me, really.
Zdzisław Beksiński was very interesting artist and brilliant man. He did incedible photos and sculptures in 50s., and in 60. he tried with musique concrete/tape music. His son, Tomasz (did suicide in 1998) was very talented and respected music collector, radio DJ and movies translator.
