signed in ballpoint pen lower right: Wac\u0142aw Piotrowski<\/p>\n
Provenance: the painting comes from the artist's estate.<\/p>\n
In 1927, he received the City of Warsaw Award, in 1928 another award at the "pre-Olympic" exhibition, and then, in 1933, a silver medal at the Zach\u0119ta exhibition. At that time, he was at the peak of his success, and critics, both conservatives and avant-garde advocates, lavished praise on him. Konrad Winkler praised his paintings, and Stefania Zahorska wrote in 1928: "Piotrowski astonished with his serious approach to the subject." Painters expressed their appreciation: Wac\u0142aw Husarski admired his "medium-like sense of the model's psyche," and Wiktor Podoski his "strange artistic alertness.".<\/p>\n
Piotrowski practiced various painting techniques, but above all, he was a draughtsman, a skill he retained until the end of his life. He was a good landscape painter, but above all, a portraitist; in an interview several years ago, he said of himself, "I was and am an experimental psychologist.".<\/p>\n
