Biography
He spent his childhood in Łódź, where he became involved in the artistic community. He studied at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts (1901–1902), then in Munich (1903–1904) and in Paris. From 1905 to 1915 he lived in Italy, and later (1916–1920) in Switzerland; in 1952 he became a “Citizen of Lugano.” In 1920, he settled permanently in Paris. He was a member of the Union of Polish Painters and Sculptors. During World War II, he resided in Switzerland. The artist shunned modern art groups; he studied the old and new masters and collected works by his favorite artists. His paintings are characterized by classical, refined composition, an economy of expressive means, and strong, radiant colors. He painted primarily landscapes, especially Mediterranean ones.
