Magdalena Spasowicz
Magdalena Spasowicz (b. 1927) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, in the Faculty of Painting under Professor Jan Cybis, and in the Faculty of Graphic Arts under Professor Tadeusz Kulisiewicz. She received her diploma from the Faculty of Painting in 1953.
Her works are held in the collections of the National Museum in Warsaw and Wrocław, the Historical Museum of Warsaw, the Polish Army Museum in Warsaw, the Polish Museum in Chicago, the Vatican Museums, as well as in numerous private collections both in Poland and abroad. She has participated in numerous exhibitions in Poland and internationally, including in Warsaw, London, Malaga, Berlin, Tripoli, Washington, Regensburg, Brunswick, Leipzig, Bratislava, Kappelrodeck, Boston, New York, Chicago, Buffalo, Birmingham, Düsseldorf, Lübeck, Vienna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and Valtekilde.

Magdalena Spasowicz devotes every moment to painting. Most of her works are monochromatic landscapes and scenes from the cities she knows and loves best. Her paintings reveal the inspiration she draws from Impressionism, as well as the influence of French painters such as Pissarro and Utrillo. Her oeuvre stands as a testament to the enduring bond between humanity and nature, and to the timeless beauty of the Polish landscape.

JAN ŚWINDZIŃSKI REFLECTIONS ON MAGDALENA SPASOWICZ’S ART
The philosopher and art critic Jan Świdziński wrote about the work of Magdalena Spasowicz:
“Magdalena Spasowicz’s paintings are primarily landscapes, occasionally accompanied by figures. The people who appear are not usually distinguished from the surrounding landscape; rather, they seem organically connected to it, forming an integral part of the scene.
It is a world of sensual beauty, of interplay between light and colour, of the lushness of nature-nature which we have never fully managed to subdue with our technological civilisation. It is a world of nature unconfined by any limiting boundaries. A rich, abundant world that we often experience only during brief holidays; a landscape we admire, to whose charm we surrender, deriving joy simply from looking.”
