Jan Rembowski

He took his first drawing lessons from Wojciech Gerson, then studied sculpture at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts with Konstanty Laszczka.

[1] In 1905, he married a French woman, who was there teaching the language, and had two daughters; one of whom, Hanna Rembowska [pl], became an illustrator.

He also helped create a group called "Sztuka Podhalańska" in Zakopane, where he often went for his health (he had had tuberculosis).

In addition to paintings, he created interior designs; notably at the sanatorium operated by Dr. Kazimierz Dłuski (1910).

[2] He also wrote essays on the folk culture of Podhale and did illustrations for the first edition of a popular alphabet book by Marian Falski [pl].
