Janina Kraupe-Świderska (27 January 1921 – 3 March 2016) was a Polish painter and printmaker.
A native of Sosnowiec,[1] Kraupe-Świderska was associated for much of her career with the avant-garde of Kraków, especially the group which had formed around the city's Kunstgewerbeschule during World War II; eventually she numbered Tadeusz Kantor, Tadeusz Brzozowski, Kazimierz Mikulski [pl], and Jerzy Nowosielski among her acquaintances.
She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Kraków, eventually returning to the institution as a lecturer and professor and remaining on the faculty until 1980.
[2][3][4][5] A 1997 print by Kraupe-Świderska is owned by the National Gallery of Art,[6] and she is represented in the collection of the Olomouc Museum of Art.
