Studied in Warsaw at the Academy of Fine Arts and Polytechnic and at the Academie "La Palette" in Paris. He exhibited in Paris at the Salons: Independent, Tuileries and May. He spent a lot of time in the south of France. He had solo exhibitions in renowned galleries in Paris and London. In 1922-53 he painted realistic landscapes and portraits. Toward the end of his life, he drew on his Cubist experiences of his youth to create paintings that bordered on figurative and abstract art.
