Is a French artist of Polish origin. Ladislas Kijno is considered one of the major artists of the 20th century and one of the masters of Abstraction, specializing in the technique of creasing and spraying on canvas.

Kijno signed several monumental works for religious buildings including the rose window for the cathedral Notre Dame de la Treille in Lille as well as a representation of the Last Supper for the church on the Plateau d'Assy in Haute-Savoie, decorated by the greatest artists of the post-war period such as Henri Matisse, George Braque, Fernand Léger and Germaine Richier.
