Tadeusz Kulisiewicz studied at the School of Decorative Arts in Poznań (1922-1923), and then at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw under the direction of Professor Władysław Skoczylas (1923-1927). Since 1926 he was a member of the Association of Graphic Artists "Ryt". Published by him in 1931, the portfolio "Szlembark", which presented the realities of life in the highland village he visited and in which he eventually settled, was an unintentional polemic with Skoczylas' idealized depictions. At the same time as his graphics, the artist created drawing cycles from the interwar years, which would become the domain of his work after the war and the loss of his graphic workshop in the Warsaw Uprising. Beginning with the series "Warsaw 1945", in which he recorded views of the ruined city, in subsequent cycles (such as "India", 1956, "Mexico" I and II, 1957-1959, "Venetian Lagoon", 1958, "Brazil", 1963 and many others) he went far beyond the poetics of reportage towards a synthesis of observed phenomena. The artist worked as a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1933-1939 and since 1945 (professor since 1950, retired since 1969). He was a member of numerous art organizations and the recipient of many national and international awards.
