Painter and writer, born in Kosow, Poland, whose early training was in the studio of Stanisław Batowski. He read philosophy and history at Lvov University. After active service in World War II he painted in Scotland, then London, chronicling the life of the city, also painting widely in Spain. In 1961 he married the artist Kathleen Browne, assisted in the running of her school and late in life published a perceptive monograph on her work. British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and several foreign collections hold his work, including Toruń University, Poland. He shared a retrospective with his wife at Polish Cultural Institute in 1994, showing his drawings of life and places on Poland’s pre-war eastern borders.
