Jozef PANKIEWICZ m
Bom in Lublin in 1866 — Died at La Ciotat, France, in 1940
He began his education as a painter at Wojdech Gerson’s private evening courses in Warsaw.
In the years 1884-1885 he studied in the Warsaw School of Drawing under Wojciech Gerson and
Aleksander Kaminski, and since the autumn of 1885 for nine months at the Academy in
St Petersburg. Following his return to Warsaw he came into a close contact with Aleksander
Gierymski and the cirle of “W^drowiec” (‘Wanderer”), to which belonged, among others,
Stanislaw Witkiewicz and Antoni Sygietyriski. In 1889 he stayed in Paris together with Wladyslaw
Podkowiriski — there he became acquainted with the art of impressionists. In 1890 he put on
display in Warsaw his own impressionistic paintings. Since that time he settled in Warsaw, from
where he frequently travelled abroad, chiefly to France and Italy. In 1906 he became nominated
a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, where he lived until 1914, spending his
summers in France. He spent World War I in Spain, then he lived in Paris (until 1923), from where
he came back to Cracow in order to resume his duties as a professor. In 1925 he moved to Paris
for good, where he directed the branch of the Cracow Academy, which he himself had organized.
Pankiewicz’s great culture, outstanding artistic sensibility and excellent knowledge of European art
(both old and modem) made him very attractive as an educator his numerous students, especially
the Parisian ones (colourists and members of the Parisian Committee) determined the shape of
Polish painting for many years. In 1897 Pankiewicz joined the Society of Polish Artists “Art”.
Pankiewicz practised painting — portraits, still lifes, landscapes, genre scenes — and graphics,
mainly etching and dry-point engraving, being, beside Wyczolkowski, a leading Polish graphic
artist of the 1st half of the 20th century.
