Feliks Michał WYGRZYWALSKI

1875 Przemyśl - 1944 Rzeszów

Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1893 to 1898 and at the Academie Julian in Paris. In 1900, he settled in Rome. In 1906, he visited Egypt. In 1908, he settled in Lviv. The naturalism and strong expressiveness of his early works, in which he depicted human labor or dramatically charged events, gave way later to realistic Italian and Ukrainian landscapes. His work also includes oriental scenes, nudes and portraits. Inspired by the atmosphere and colors of southern landscapes, he liked to use harsh light and saturated, expressive colors. He was the creator of the decorations of the Lviv Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He also designed stained glass windows and created stage sets and theatrical costumes.
