Artur Markowicz (1872-1934) – Two Women – Pastel on Paper
Two Women, a painting by Artur Markowicz (1872-1934).
Pastel on paper mounted on cardboard. Signed: "Artur Markowicz, Krakow".
Artur Markowicz (1872-1934) was born in Krakow. He studied at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts as the student of Leopold Leffler, Jan Matejko and others and during the years 1896-1903 continued his studies in Munich and at the École des Beaux-Art in Paris, where he also exhibited his work. In 1904, he returned to Krakow and opened a studio in the Jewish district, Kazimierz. During the years 1907-1908, he visited Jerusalem. He continued to work in Krakow, while touring Europe and displaying his works. Like other Polish-Jewish artists, he was a member of the "Jewish Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts". His works are mostly realistic with visible symbolist and expressionist influence; one of his prevalent subjects is the Jews of Krakow, depicted time and again in his work.
