Polish painter and illustrator, precursor of impressionism in Poland.
______________________________________________________________
He was born on February 4, 1866 in Warsaw.
A painter torn by heartfelt torment, spit on by critics, mocked by the "respectable" audience, was walking quickly towards eternal darkness, the one who shouted at the world, who wanted to trap light in his works. Huge talent, noble character.
Władysław Podkowiński, along with Józef Pankiewicz, is one of the precursors of Polish painting, which used the assumptions of French Impressionism. In 1889, both artists visited Paris, where they admired an exhibition of Paul Cezanne and Claude Monet together.
After returning to the then provincial Warsaw, contrasting in moods with the lively Paris, both painters attempted impressionistic experiments using their Parisian experiences.
The show in 1890 in the Warsaw gallery - Krywult's Salon caused a storm of protests and negative comments. Art critics wrote: I saw only thickly applied patches of yellow, ultramarine, mixed into a disorderly chaos (...) We asked quite seriously whether we should send ourselves or the creators of unforgettable impressionistic fantasies to an ophthalmologist.
