Zdzislaw Cyankiewicz (Bialystok 1912 - Paris 1981) - painter and illustrator. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow in the studio of Jozef Mehoffer and Wladyslaw Jarocki, and from 1935 taught drawing at his alma mater. In 1937 he went to Paris, where he was active in the Paris branch of the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts under Waclaw Zawadowski. At that time he also established contacts with Ecole de Paris. He took up themes referring to Polish folklore and native landscapes, using vibrant color and slightly geometrizing form. During World War II, he fought in the ranks of the French army, at which time he created a series of images of fellow soldiers from the prisoner-of-war camp in which he was held. After the war, he lived in Paris and devoted himself mainly to sculpture and ceramics, and also practiced mural painting. Toward the end of his life, he created kinetic paintings engraved in steel.
