Stanislaw DYBOWSKI
1895 - 1956
He was initially educated at the Drawing School in Warsaw. He continued his education in 1917-1919 with Kuturlin in Moscow and in 1923-1926 at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw with Karol Tiche and Władysław Skoczylas. In 1926 he went to Paris, where he created and exhibited at the Au Sacre du Printemps gallery. In 1932, he received a scholarship from TZSP, which enabled him to travel to Italy and continue his studies. After returning to Poland, he lived in Warsaw. He went on many plein-air painting trips, including to Stanislawow, Kazimierz and Bolkow. He was awarded many times. He exhibited mainly in Warsaw's "Zachęta", Lodz's Municipal Art Gallery, Krakow's TPSP. He was a member of the Association of Painters Pro Arte. He continued the tradition of Jan Stanislawski. He painted decorative landscapes with misty tones, often featuring architectural motifs. He was also interested in folklore: he painted folk types and interiors of country cottages, those of Lowicz, Hutsul, Podhale, Vilnius, Silesia and Cracow, in which he noted ethnographic details with sometimes documentary fidelity. Less frequently, he created portraits and still lifes. During the Nazi occupation, he earned money by trading in paintings and frames. During the Warsaw Uprising, many of his works were destroyed.
