Łunkiewicz-Rogoyska Maria Ewa

Łunkiewicz-Rogoyska Maria Ewa (ur. 1894 Kudrynka in Podolia, zm. 1967 Warsaw).
Painter, member of the group Plastycy Nowocześni and Block Zaw. Visual artists. She studied art in the years 1921-24 at the Ecole Nationale des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. After returning from France, she settled in Warsaw. She took an active part in the artistic life, participated in many exhibitions in Poland and abroad. W 1931 had her first individual exhibition at the Cz. Garliński in Warsaw. From the beginning of its activity, both at home and abroad, she remained in close contact with the circles of the artistic avant-garde. At the turn of the 1920s and 1930s, her works showed a very clear influence of the purism of Ozenfant and Jeanneret, which she actually cultivated as the only one in the country at that time. The starting point of her work was not an object encountered in reality, but they had already existed as a painterly fact. She also used the experience of cubism, and in the post-war years she created abstract compositions, characterized by tasteful, although not aesthetic, color harmony. The entire artistic output of the artist testifies to her analytical and intellectual attitude rather than sensual or emotional.
