Painter, Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow under Jozef Mehoffer and Jan Stanislawski, then in Paris. He exhibited before World War I in Warsaw and St. Petersburg. In 1919-25 he held the position of attaché for cultural affairs at the Polish embassy in Stockholm and at that time sought (unsuccessfully) the Nobel Prize for Stefan Żeromski.
