Henryk Derczyński
Henryk Derczyński (1906–1981) was a photographer who lived in Poland.
Career[edit]
Derczyński was a leading photographer in 20th century Poland.[1][2] He was educated in Warsaw. After World War II, he documented the fate of citizens forcibly moved to the city of Wrocław (Breslau).[3] He later established the Cabinet of Photography in the National Museum, Wrocław.[4] The city developed into a centre of Polish photography, and Derczyński worked at the forefront of the realist style prevalent at the time.[5]
Exhibitions and publications[edit]
Derczyński displayed numerous exhibitions and wrote many books, including the biography of Jan Bułhak[6]—the father of Polish photography—that is considered the most sought-after.[7]
Inventions[edit]
He also created an isohelia technology, a technique that sharpens contrasts and defines three-dimensional images,[8] under the brand name "izobrom".[9]
