Niezwykle udana (w moich oczach) martwa natura Zdzisława Ruszkowskiego była licytowana we Francji. Dom aukcyjny, chyba dość asekuracyjnie, jedynie przypisał ją artyście ale paleta malarska i sposób malowania powinnny przemawiać za autorstwem. W UK inna martwa natura ze schyłkowego już okresu malarskiego.

Lot 537. Zdzislaw Ruszkowski (1907-1991). Landscape from Ireland signed ‘Ruszkowski’ (lower right) oil on canvas 76 x 50cm Provenance: Sale; Christie’s South Kensington, Thursday 11 May 2004, lot 93. Born on July 12, 1907, in Tomaszow, Poland. Estimate £1,500 – £2,500. Cheffins. 10/26/23.Sold 2,000 GBP

Born on July 12, 1907, in Tomaszow, Poland, Zdzislaw Ruszkowski displayed an early affinity for art, no doubt influenced by his father – a painter, who took delight in bringing his son with him on painting expeditions. His formative years were marked by a deep curiosity and passion for painting, leading him to pursue formal education in the field of fine arts. Ruszkowski’s academic journey took him to the Cracow Art Academy, where he honed his skills under the guidance of renowned Polish artists. In 1935, he travelled to Paris, where his work would take on a different character and became more explicitly influenced by masters including Titian, Van Gogh, Cezanne and Rembrandt – stylistically disparate, though linked by their dexterous handling of light and colour. It was during this period that Ruszkowski began to develop his unique artistic approach, characterized by a fusion of classical techniques with modern sensibilities. In 1939, interrupted by the outbreak of war, Ruszkowski joined the Polish army in France. Travelling across Europe by foot, Ruszkowski ultimately found himself in Scotland, where he met and married his wife, Jennifer McCormack. Following the war, Ruszkowski and his wife divided their time between London, Cornwall and his studio in Lyme Regis. Whilst he is, perhaps, not a well-known name today, during his lifetime Ruszkowski was able to support his family through his work as an artist, exhibiting alongside the London Group and being represented by galleries including the Leicester Galleries, Roland, Browse & Delbanco and Jablonsky Gallery. Ruszkowski’s body of work is a testament to his mastery of various artistic genres. He was a versatile artist, equally adept at portraiture, landscape and still life painting. His signature style combined meticulous attention to detail with a profound emotional depth. Ruszkowski’s use of colour and light was particularly noteworthy, as he skilfully captured the nuances of the human form, the grandeur of nature and the subtleties of everyday objects.

Lot 1095. Zdzislaw Ruszkowski [1907-1990] – View over Charmouth Bay,:- signed bottom right, oil on canvas, 44 x 34cm. * Provenance. The Leicester Galleries, Cork St, London, where bought by The Rt. Hon Lord Croft. * Biography Ruszkowski was born in 1907 in Tomaszow, Poland and grew-up influenced by his father, also a painter. Later influences were Van Gogh, Cezanne and the Old Masters such as Titian and Rembrandt. In 1935 Ruszkowski went to Paris, where he became closer to the work of Cezanne and the countryside around Aix-en-Provence in the south of France. In 1939 he visited Versailles, but the threat of war in Europe affected his enthusiasm to paint and in 1940 he left France for England to serve with the Polish army based in Scotland. Ruszkowski’s preoccupation with light assumed a major influence in his work from the mid-50s and large areas of dark shadow are used to achieve contrast, form and expression. Light also plays a constructional role in his paintings and transitions from shadow to light have defined shape and colour. There is an artist’s Catalogue Raisonne produced by Michael Simonow.
