Ulcers In Mouth, Sore Throat, Fever

From the series: Łowicz Biographies - 1

Joseph Chełmoński

Polish painter of realism. Born on 07.11.1849 in a village near towicz Sides, a family of low nobility. He grew up in an atmosphere of respect for cultural values, which took care of his mother and father, grandfather and talented artist.

In latach1862-1865 Chełmoński attended the School District of the General Łowicz. Already in high school he thought seriously about it, to devote himself to malarstwu.W years 1867-1871 he studied at the Private School Gerson in Warsaw, and later at the Warsaw School of Drawing.

After his departure from Warsaw, a painter lived for two years in Munich, then moved to Paris. The beginnings were difficult - the artist struggled with poverty, after some time, however, his paintings have gained recognition. The French, Americans paid over ten thousand francs for one's image. Also in Paris, of paintings, "Night in the Ukraine" and "Before Inn ".

Chełmońskiego criticized in Poland mainly for his painting" Indian Summer ". These same images, which in Poland did not want to accept the exhibition, the international exhibitions have received the highest honors.

Chełmoński In Paris he lived lavishly, strangely dressed and smartly, and presented his paintings over and over again, with the hooves of horses rushing by huge snow, hunting, wolf attacks, fields, pastures, meadows, among the blizzard of snow and fog. But he knew that, despite excellent visual memory begins to repeat itself and that his paintings away from the earth, he wanted to represent, are getting worse. In 1887 he decided to return to the Polish. He settled in Grodzisk Mazowiecki near Kuklówce
and devoted himself to painting from nature his beloved Mazowsza.Wyjeżdżał there for a short time only to Podolia, Polesie, Ukraine. My favorite picture is:

reminds me of patriotism and raises some dormant strings. Today
Chełmoński has Łowicz street of his name and the school - the oldest school in town, but I will write about him on another occasion. There are also organized Rallies by PTTK Chelmonski Trail, leading through the village associated with the artist.
