Biography
Outstanding Polish painter, at the same time one of the most interesting representatives of the so-called "Ecole de Paris". A pupil of J. Malczewski and T. Axentowicz at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, he continued his studies in Munich under Ažbe. In 1904 he worked and exhibited in Paris, with breaks - in 1910 he held a chair of painting in Jerusalem, and between 1914 and 1918 he served in the First Brigade of the Legions, maintaining constant contact with the country. In the 1990s, his work was recalled by exhibitions at Warsaw's National Museum - the collections of Ewa and Wojciech Fibak, Boleslaw and Lina Nawrocki, as well as "Kisling and Friends" and "Paris and Polish Artists1900 - 1918." He was the younger brother of painter Maurycy Gottlieb, born after his death.
