Jacek Mierzejewski

In poor health after 1905, he spent much of his free time at the resort in Zakopane.

[1] In 1913, he received a scholarship that enabled him to study in France, where he spent most of his time in Paris and Brittany.

His first major exhibition was with the Kraków Society of Friends of Fine Arts in 1916.

He returned to Poland after the war and settled in Piotrowice near Nałęczów, the site of a well-known sanatorium.

He also illustrated children's books and textbooks and did satirical cartoons for the short-lived (1911–12) biweekly magazine Abdera.
