Biography
From 1909 to 1911, he studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Konstanty Laszczka and, at the same time, history at the Jagiellonian University. He furthered his studies in sculpture in Paris—at the turn of 1911–12—in the studio of, among others, F. Colarossi. After returning to Poland, he settled permanently in Warsaw. From 1915, he was a member of the Society of Friends of Fine Arts (TPSP), as well as a member and long-time president of the Sculpture Society. He returned to France from 1923 to 1926. After World War II, during which his two studios in Warsaw were destroyed, he settled in Katowice. He exhibited in Paris (1911), Warsaw, Kraków, Poznań, and Łódź. In 1926, his bust *Youth* was acquired by the Musée du Luxembourg in Paris. He created portraits, figurative and allegorical compositions, as well as tomb sculptures and monuments.
