Zygmunt Waliszewski

Between 1921 and 1924 he studied at Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in the studios of Wojciech Weiss and Józef Pankiewicz.

He was a participant in the Capists' plein-air painting workshops in Cagnes, Valence, Cap Martin, and Avignon.

At the Louvre, he painted copies and travesties of the works of old masters like Titian, Veronese, Velázquez, Vermeer, Goya, and Delacroix.

During this time Waliszewski designed scenery and posters, created book illustrations, drew and painted caricatures and grotesque scenes.

Waliszewski painted primarily portraits and figural compositions and landscapes of the rural countryside.
