Makowski Tadeusz

Makowski Tadeusz (ur. 1882 Auschwitz, zm. 1932 Paris).
Tadeusz Makowski – one of the most respected Polish painters of the interwar period – for a year 1903 was a student of J.. Mehoffera i J. Stanisławski at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. He graduated from the university awarded with a silver medal in the year 1908 and in the same year he left for France, where he stayed permanently. During World War I, he stayed in Brittany. He was friends with W.. Ślewiński. In painting he referred to both Gaugin, as well as to cubism and to the old genre of Dutch painting, processed into its own, original way. Later, he painted children more and more often and willingly, and in later years also older people. He also painted landscapes and flowers. He exhibited a lot in France, in Poland, however, he was not widely known; the only exhibition of works before the war took place after the artist's death at the Institute of Art Propaganda in Warsaw.
