Osostowicz Stanisław (ur. 1906 Tamopol, zm. 1939 Warsaw).
Painter, draftsman, chart, member of the Krakow Group. He studied art at the State Industrial School in Lviv in the l. 1921-27 and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in l. 1927-32. He was a student of I.. Pieńkowski, F. Pautscha i J. Wojnarski. He initially painted under the strong influence of F.. Pautscha, who was a great authority for him at the time. With time, he assessed the Academy more and more critically, argued, that: “you'd better drop this junkyard”. W 1932 he painted Peasant epic, image, which was formally a compromise, in terms of content, however, it was considered a composition “where the devil sits” (the idea of fighting hostile camps). This work was the reason why Osostowicz was removed from the list of students. The artist's views have definitely become radicalized, he joined the Krakow Group, in which he was the vice-president for many years. Initially, his works were characterized by expressive dynamics, which later gave way to geometrization and zonal order of colors, and with time even more stringent geometry (even manifested in the texture of rectangular color spots), striving for calmness and statics, and a certain primitization. The leitmotif of Osostowicz's paintings was the world of a small town, however, shown not in an atmosphere of familiarity or regional exoticism, but from the side “the brutal simplicity of a running life screaming with posters”. Apart from painting, he practiced graphics, he dealt with the set design (m.i. for the Cricot Theater), he experimented in the field of asthetic pedagogy, wishing to educate a new recipient of new art.
