• Zygmunt Waliszewski
  Dec 1, 1897 - Oct 5, 1936

• Zygmunt Waliszewski was a Polish painter of Russian birth, a member of the Kapist movement. He became a member of a Futurist group and learned the tenets of avant-garde art. He painted primarily portraits and figural compositions with a grotesque flavor and landscapes of the villages of Mory and Kazimierz. Believing that a new vitality could be extracted from primitive art, he also looked to common crafts and folk art for stylistic patterns.
