Biography

Ukrainian-born Polish painter Władysław Jarocki studied at Lemberg and Kraków from 1902-06, and then moved to Paris and the Academie Julian. He was eventually named professor and taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków from 1921-39. In addition to landscapes and portraits, Jarocki also painted religious subjects and produced cartoons.

His predominant motifs were located in the Podhale region and the Tatra Mountains, and he often used the Hutsuls, an ethno-cultural group who for centuries have inhabited the Carpathian Mountains, mainly in Ukraine and in the northern extremity of Romania, for his themes.
