"Stanisław Zagajewski (c. 1927 - 4 April 2008 in Włocławek) was a Polish self-taught sculptor.
Zagajewski was abandoned in winter 1929 on the doorstep of St. Barbara Church in Warsaw, so his date of birth as well as his name and surname were assigned to him. He grew up in an orphanage and never finished primary school. He worked i.a. as a cook, gardener, bookbinder, tailor and construction worker helping in rebuilding Warsaw till 1952. Since 1963 he lived in Włocławek devoting himself to sculpting. During his cooperation with Cepelia (a state company purchasing folk art objects from craftsmanship cooperatives) he learned how to fire ceramics." - (Wikipedia (en) 12.08.2021)
