Wlodzimierz Zakrzewski - Landscape

The urban landscape was already a popular subject in the Middle Ages and the Modern Era, but predominantly in an idealized manner. Scenes of city life became typical themes with a more realistic interpretation starting in the 19th century. It's worth remembering how, immediately following the realist movements of the 19th century, the Impressionists also placed great emphasis on the everyday, on everyday life, with a certain predilection, however, for the frenetic pace of the city, its crowds, traffic, and typically bourgeois settings.

Wlodzimierz Zakrzewski's pictorial language can be confidently defined as post-Impressionist due to his ability to synthesize phenomenal reality through a cursive brushstroke that still strives for an immediate and refreshing representation of landscape. The rapidity of his touch reminds us of De Pisis, for example, but Zakrzewski's works are based on much thicker impastos that reveal a certain affinity with Utrillo or Van Gogh.

Wlodzimierz Zakrzewski was born in 1916 in St. Petersburg and died in 1992. He was a popular artist, especially in Poland; he trained in Warsaw and later taught Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts there. From the 1950s onwards, he devoted himself to landscape painting and exhibited his works in cities such as Warsaw, Paris, Dresden, Budapest, Milan, Rome, New York, and Munich. In Italy, he lived for a long time in Bergamo.
