Biography
Studied at the School of Fine Arts in Cracow with Jan Matejko, among others, and then at the Munich Academy and in Paris. He traveled to Italy, Vienna, Holland, Belgium and Jerusalem, where he found subjects for his paintings. He painted mainly in pastels, less often in oils - landscapes, portraits, "Dutch" interiors, and above all genre scenes from Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter of Krakow. Collections of Artur Markowicz's paintings are in the National Museum and the Historical Museum in Cracow, as well as the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw. A great many of his works are in private collections in the United States and Israel.
