|
Brief Biography-Jacek Malczewski was born in Radom, Poland in 1854. The writer and publicist Adolf Dygasiński first tutored him, and his principal art instruction was at the Academy of Fine Arts under Władysław Łuszczkiewicz. In 1875, he took lessons from Jan Matejkoand on his advice, he went to Paris, where he entered the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Suisse. The artist Artur Grottger influenced him in Poland. Folklore, his favourite motivation for subjects, interested him in Greek mythology and biblical scenes, so he travelled extensively for stimulus. In 1912 he became Rector of the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, where he was a professor. Malczewski was the primary exponent of Symbolism in Poland. His works are on display throughout Europe, and his son Rafał Malczewski became a successful painter. |
