Stefan DOMARADZKI
1897 Nizhny Novgorod - 1983 Nandy
He spent his childhood in Russia and the Lomza region. In 1912-14 he lived with his family in the south of France, where he began his artistic activity - he had his first exhibition of his works in 1914 in Cannes. In 1914-16 he studied at the Adolf Classical Gymnasium in Moscow. In 1916, he began studying medicine at Moscow University, at the same time starting to study at Stanislav Zhukovsky's private painting school and being influenced by his master. In 1918, he began studying at the Moscow School of Fine Arts in the studio of Professor Malutin. He returned to Poland in 1921 and in 1922 began studying at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts in the studio of Professor Tiche. He took part in exhibitions organized in France and Moscow and from 1925 - regularly in exhibitions, including those organized by the Warsaw Zachęta, winning prizes and awards. In 1939 his works were presented at an exhibition in New York. After World War II, the artist initially settled in France and then moved to the USA. Domaradzki's work is characterized by a unique moodiness, combining the best features of the traditions of Polish, Russian and French landscape painters.
