Artist
Albert Chmielowski
Albert Chmielowski is a Post-Impressionism artist. 13 works are cataloged here, principally at National Museum in Warsaw.
A Polish painter of the late 1800s, Albert Chmielowski made dark, earth-toned oils that balanced quiet mood with sharp realism. Look closely at Zawale, a somber 1883 canvas showing a crumbling wall and scrubby grass, or at Landscape from the Vincity of Czarnokozińce, where distant fields meet low clouds. He also painted a 1875 portrait of Antoni Sygietyński, letting the sitter’s face emerge from shadow rather than pose.
Tap into Zawale to feel the grit of oil paint and muted light that marks his time and place.
