Leszek Piasecki (1928-1990)
Piasecki was born in Lvov, where he attended the School of Applied Arts. He also received artistic training from Stanislaw Batowski and Zygmunt Rozwadowski. He then continued his studies in Katowice. From 1951 he was a student of the Academy and trained by Ignacy Pienkowski, Fryderyk Pautsch, Jan Hoplinski and Jerzy Fedkowicz. Around the same time Piasecki became acquainted with Jerzy Kossak, the son of the best Polish horse painter, Wojciech Kossak, and his future teacher. After graduating he settled in Górny Śląsk. From 1956 to 1962 Piasecki worked as a graphic artist for the magazine ‘Panorama’, while he also established himself as a history painter. In 1974 he emigrated with his family to Austria, where he settled in Vienna. Since then he has mainly focused on depictions of battle and horse scenes. (cbo)
