Tadeusz BRZOZOWSKI
1918 Lviv - 1987 Rome
Beginning in 1936, he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, continuing from 1940-1942 at the Kunstgewerbeschule, which was established in place of the Academy. During the occupation, he was associated with Tadeusz Kantor's Underground Theater. In 1945 he finally graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. Until 1948, he exhibited with the Group of Young Visual Artists, participating in the most important exhibitions of the young art movement, until the imposition of socialist realism by the authorities. From 1950 to 1955, he did not participate in official artistic life, occupying himself during this time with painting church polychromes, conservation and teaching drawing at the Faculty of Architecture at the Cracow University of Technology (until 1954). In 1954 he moved to Zakopane, where he took up teaching work at the Kenar School. He worked there until 1969, in 1959-1961 as director. In 1955, he returned to participating in exhibitions, participating in numerous shows in Poland and abroad, also organizing many solo exhibitions. In 1957 he became a member of the reactivated Cracow Group. Since 1958, he co-organized the "March Salons" in Zakopane. In 1959, in Paris, he became associated with the international "Phases" movement. From 1962 to 1979 he was a teacher at the State Higher School of Fine Arts in Poznań (from 1977 a professor), and from 1979 to 1981 a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow.
