Biography
Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow under Florian Cynk, Jacek Malczewski and Jozef Mehoffer between 1895 and 1901. In the field of landscape painting he studied in the studio of Jan Stanislawski, who had a great influence on his work. He supplemented his painting education in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts under Jean Gerome. He lived and worked in Cracow, as well as in Jankówka near Wieliczka. Beginning in 1903, he exhibited most often at the Society of Friends of Fine Arts in Cracow, as well as at the Zachęta Gallery in Warsaw. He belonged to the Jednoróg grouping (from 1929), with which he also exhibited. He painted figural compositions, flowers, portraits, but mostly small landscapes from the vicinity of Cracow and Wieliczka, as Tadeusz Dobrowolski wrote, "defined by a wide and soft stain, in color bright and clear."
