Biography

Rudzka-Cybisowa was born on 27 June 1897 in Mława, Poland. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where she was taught by Miłosz Kotarbiński. In 1923 Rudzka-Cybisowa became a student of the Polish Impressionist Józef Pankiewicz. In 1924 she traveled to Paris along with a group of Polish students who named themselves the Komitet Paryski (the Paris Committee, also called the Kapists). The same year she married the painter Jan Cybis (1897-1972) who was also part of the Komitet Paryski. [2] The couple stayed in France from 1924 through to 1931. [1]

From 1931 through to 1933 Rudzka-Cybisowa lived in Kraków, returning for a time to Paris where she had a solo show at the Renaissance Gallery. In 1934 her work was included in a Kapists' group show at the Warszawskim Instytucie Propagandy Sztuki (Warsaw Art Propaganda Institute). Rudzka-Cybisowa remained in Poland through the Nazi occupation, continuing to paint. After the liberation she began teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. [3] The Academy was reestablished after the Warsaw Uprising. [4] She taught there until her retirement in 1967. [2] She was active in the Krakowskiego Okręgu Związku Polskich Artystów Plastyków (Krakow District of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers). [3]

In 1971 the National Museum in Poznań held a retrospective of her work. [3] Rudzka-Cybisowa died on 3 February 1988 in Kraków. [2]
