Jan Wojnarski

Jan Józef Wojnarski (1 December 1879, Tarnów – 14 October 1937, Kraków) was a Polish painter, graphic artist and art professor.

From 1902, he studied at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts, under the tutelage of Florian Cynk, Jan Stanisławski and Leon Wyczółkowski.

Most of his works are small scale landscapes, which show the influence of Stanisławski.

In 1937, he won a gold medal at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne in Paris.

He married Kazimierą Musiałowicz and they had two sons, Krzysztofa and Jan [pl], who became the first post-war mayor of Oliwa.
