Polish artist Tadeusz Kantor was a leading exponent of avant-garde art and theater in Poland after World War II, particularly in Kraków, where he organized an underground theater, exhibitions, and discussion groups. His work, such as The Dead Class, which is also the title of a play, often blends visual art and theater.
