Eugeniusz Eibisch (Lublin 1896 - Warsaw 1987) painter and pedagogue - in 1912-22 was a student of Jacek Malczewski and Wojciech Weiss at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. In 1922, as a scholarship holder of the French government, he went to Paris. He actively participated in the artistic life there, entering the circle of École de Paris and enjoying the friendship of many painters (including G. Braque, Ch. Soutine, L. Marcoussis). Highly regarded by critics, he exhibited extensively in Parisian Salons and galleries.
In 1939, he returned to Poland to take up the chair of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, which, however, only became possible in 1945, simultaneously with his appointment as rector of the Academy. From 1950 he was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. The subjects of Eibisch's paintings were still lifes, landscapes and portraits, especially of women. Early works reveal Formist influences, while later works bring the artist closer to the broad current of Polish Colorism.
Over time, the shapes of the painted figures or objects are increasingly lost in favor of color, until finally the artist's paintings become self-contained, almost abstract color compositions.
