Larisch Karol (ur. 1902 Cracow, zm. 1935 (died in a motorcycle accident near Skoczów)).
Painter, chart, member of the Pryzmat group. He was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in the years 1920-26 under the direction of I.. Pieńkowski, J. Pankiewicz and F.. Kowarski. W 1926 he stayed briefly in Dresden, and at the end of that year he went to Paris, where he continued his artistic studies under the guidance of J.. Pankiewicz. He spent many hours working at the Louvre, where he made numerous copies of the works of the old masters. W 1927 he fell ill with a serious lung disease and was treated in one of the hospitals in Paris. After returning to Poland, he continued his treatment in Zakopane in the. 1928-29. In years 1930-32 he stayed in Poznań and Warsaw, to finally settle in Krakow. Took part in exhibitions in Krakow, Poznan, Warsaw and Philadelphia. Initially, he painted monochrome paintings, built on the principle of classical composition with a predominance of a value element, referring thematically and formally to old painting. Over time, the basis of his painting became color, used with chromatic discipline, which he learned from the Impressionists, Seurata and Cezannea. Larisch's favorite themes are scenes in parks, by the water, on squares and streets, fetes-champetres motifs, as well as still lifes and portraits. His works are characterized by a brightened color palette, dense painting matter and rough texture, achieved with short brush strokes. In a constant search for new means of expression, Larisch often repainted his pictures, treating them in a sense as attempts to larger ones, never completed works.
