Biography

The son of teachers Wiktor Dymny and Janina,[1] Dymny attended the High School of the Friends of Children Society (currently the S. Żeromski High School No. 3) in Bielsko-Biała.[1] In 1953 he passed his matura and began studying painting at the Academy of Fine Arts,[1][2] where his professors included Jan Świderski (painter), Wacław Taranczewski, Zdzisław Przebindowski.[3]

Dymny wrote texts for Studencki Teatr Satyryków and Teatr 38.[1] In 1961, together with Barbara Nawratowicz, he founded the Remiza cabaret, which operated for about six months at Piwnica Pod Jaszczurami.[1] In 1964 he founded the beat group Szwagry in Kraków, and until 1969 he was its artistic and literary director and served as a master of ceremonies.[1] He authored c. 300 song lyrics, including Black Angels with music by Zygmunt Konieczny, performed by Ewa Demarczyk, awarded at the 1st National Song Festival in Opole.[1] He published his poems in, among others, the weekly Szpilki (1970–1978, with breaks)[1]. In 1977, an apartment fire destroyed several of his drawings and texts.[1]

Dymny suffered from alcohol addiction.[1][3] His first wife was Teresa Hrynkiewicz.[1] He was partner of Barbara Nawratowicz[3][4] and, later, husband of Anna Dymna née Dziadyk.[1][3] He was buried at the Salwator Cemetery.[1][2]
