Igor Mitoraj (born 1944) - Polish sculptor living permanently in Italy. He draws inspiration from ancient Greek sculpture. A characteristic motif in his work is human frailty; the bandaged body, hollowed out figures. Well-known works by Mitopraj include 'The head', 'Venus' and 'Eros'. His monumental works are found in squares and courtyards, from Paris to Tokyo, in Pietrasanta, Bologna, Rome, Cracow and Warsaw.
