OBITUARY
Lisow is a small and charming village near Biecz in the Sub-Carpathian region, at the foot of the
Liivocz Mountain. It was there that Stanislaw Jozef Jasiewicz was born on 2 April 1913, the
youngest child of Karolina of the Rakoczy and Franciszek Jasiewicz, woodcarver and violin maker,
graduate of the Kunstgewerbeschule (now the Applied Art University) in Vienna.
At age fifteen, when Stanislaw enrolled in the School of the Wood Industry in Zakopane (now
Kenan's School), he was despite his young age already an experienced maker of altars in his father's
workshop. He finished the school in 1937 and went on to study at the Plastic Arts Institute first in
Warsaw and then in Poznan. His education was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.
During the war he acted as guide for underground resistance units active in his native region.
Once the war was over, Stanislaw enrolled at the Jagiellonian University and later the
University of Warsaw and the Fine Arts Academy, where in 1932 he obtained diplomas from both
the Sculpture and Conservation Faculties. His professors included Jan Szczepkowski and Xawery
