Wacław Zawadowski

Jan Wacław Zawadowski, pseudonym Zawado, (14 April 1891 – 15 November 1982) was a Polish painter of landscapes (mainly of Provence), still life, portraits, and figural scenes.

In 1910 he began to study at the Fine Art School of Cracovie in professor Józef Pankiewicz's studio.

He signed his first and last contract of exclusivity with German art dealer Paul Cassirer, who organized many expositions in Germany.

During the war, Zawadowski went to Spain for four years, mostly in Madrid where he met with friends, Polish painters, and Arthur Rubinstein.

During the summer, Zawadowski visited Saint-Cirq Lapopie with Tsuguharu Foujita, Sanary or Le Blanc with Chaïm Soutine, and Bretagne where he painted landscapes.

Very tied with Leopold Zborowski, one of the greatest modern art dealer (for example he worked with Modigliani) Zawado gave him to sale his paintings.
