Signed p.d.: Rafał Malczewski



On the reverse (ink): Giewont. | View from "Harenda" the home of poet Jan Kasprowicz; also, on the so-called "back" an auction sticker from 2012.





Between Zakopane and Poronin is Villa Harenda, which in 1923 Jan Kasprowicz bought from English painter and poet Mary Winifred Cooper. Regulars at the villa included Leopold Staff, Kornel Makuszyński, Witkacy and Rafał Malczewski. Jan Kasprowicz died in Harenda on August 1 , 1926. We can therefore assume that the presented watercolor was created before the poet's death.



The above landscape is an absolute treat for both collectors of Rafal Malczewski's work and lovers of the Polish Tatra Mountains.



♣ A fee will be added to the auctioned price in addition to other costs, based on the right of the artist and his heirs to receive remuneration in accordance with the Act of February 4, 1994 - on Copyright and Related Rights (droit de suite).


Rafał Malczewski (Krakow 1892 - Montreal 1965) studied agronomy, philosophy and architecture in Vienna; he also attended the Academy of Fine Arts there, but owed his artistic education primarily to his father, Jacek Malczewski. From 1917 to 1939 he lived permanently in Zakopane; he was a passionate mountaineer. In 1930 he left for a six-month stay in France. In December 1939 he broke through Slovakia and Hungary to France, from where he then left for Brazil and later the United States. In 1942 he arrived in Montreal, where he remained permanently. Beginning in 1919 he exhibited extensively; from 1934 also as a member of the "Rhythm" grouping. He painted mainly landscapes - from the Tatra Mountains, Podhale, views from small towns and factory Silesia, later also from Brazil and Canada. In his paintings - consciously primitive, often maintained in a poetic and fairy-tale mood - he is close to the art of naive realism. Malczewski was also a writer, authoring articles on art, columns, essays and memoirs of the Tatras and Zakopane, including "Narcotic of the Mountains," "The Mountains Are Calling" and "Navel of the World," a book already written in Canada.
