  Review of Julian Stanczak retrospective at the Cleveland Institute of Art by Dan Tranberg
Out of desperation, Julian (at age 13) had to leave his family, lie about his age, and join the army "because they had food." But severe illness and the loss of the use of his right arm left him no choice but to desert.
Because Stanczak’s father was serving in the Polish Army under British command, and Poland’s newly formed Communist government prevented the family from returning to their homeland after the war, the Stanczaks were eventually granted permanent residence in England.
Crucial to these early developments is Stanczak’s tutelage under the man he referred to as an "expert in the mystery of color," Josef Albers.

 Julian Stanczak
Stanczak has been likened to a magician who transforms color, line, and shape into vibrant surfaces that challenge our perception of reality.

Polish born, Stanczak aspired to be a cellist before being forced into a Siberian labor camp where he lost the use of his right arm.

Along with Bridget Riley and Richard Anuszkiewicz, Julian Stanczak, now 75, was included in the 1965 show that put Op Art on the map: "The Responsive Eye" at the Museum of Modern Art.
Stanczak has been steadfastly devoted to using pattern and color to create striking and confounding illusions of movement and luminosity.
In his neatly made abstractions nothing stays fixed: lines appear to vibrate, waver, rotate and undulate; color glows and throbs as if electrically generated; hovering, gridded squares seem to fade in and out of visibility.

Josef Albers taught the two primary practioners of the "Color Function" school at Yale in the 1950s: Richard Anuszkiewicz and Julian Stanczak.
In his "temple" paintings, for instance, the juxtaposition of two highly contrasting colors provokes a sense of depth in illusionistic three-dimenensional space so that it appears as if the architetural shape is invading the viewer's space.
