Academy of Fine Arts, Łódź

The Academy, headed by its president Professor Grzegorz Chojnacki, employs 63 faculty members to instruct its 1118 students.

[4] The professors and founders spent the first two years creating the Academy's program by searching for inspiration in artistic and didactic literary outputs of bauhaus and Kazimierz Malewicz’s pedagogical experience.

Władysław Strzemiński[5] had a great influence on the Academy’s development, both through his five years of teaching and through his artistic and didactic approach.

He lost his arm, leg and sight in one eye during the First World War, but that did not discourage him from continuing with his artistic education.

Within just a few years, he found himself in the forefront of Russia’s avant-garde movement, working with Eliezer Lisicki and Alexander Rodchenko.

Selected cities with which the Academy cooperates are Hasselt, Belgium; Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria; Zlín, Czech Republic; Helsinki, Finland; Grenoble, Lyon, and Paris, France; Alicante, Burgos, Málaga, and Valencia, Spain; Dublin, Ireland; Dortmund and Berlin, Germany; Lisbon, Portugal; Geneva, Switzerland; İzmir, Turkey; Budapest, Hungary; and Florence, Urbino and Brescia, Italy.
