Tadeusz Makowski

[1] Upon completing his courses there in 1908, he moved to Paris, where he would live for the rest of his life.

Then, he painted some frescoes that attracted the attention of a group of Cubist painters, led by Henri Le Fauconnier, who worked in Montparnasse.

At the invitation of Władysław Ślewiński, he spent the war years in Brittany and would return there several times.

These trips inspired him to depart from strict cubism and go back to studying nature; creating many stylized landscapes.

[2] Later, his favorite subjects were carnivals, fairs and children, done in a style inspired by the old Dutch Masters, Polish folk art and naïve art.
