Life

Sichulski studied from 1900 to 1908 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow under Leon Wyczółkowski , Józef Mehoffer and Stanisław Wyspiański . The studies in Krakow were interrupted by a stay in the arts and crafts school of the Austrian Museum for Art and Industry under Anton von Kenner . He also trained on trips to Dresden, Florence, Munich, Paris, Rome and Venice.

His pictures were first exhibited in 1903 by the Krakow Society of Friends of the Fine Arts . From 1903 to 1905 he worked as a draftsman for the satirical magazine “Liberum Veto” and from 1905 he took part in the cabaret “Zielony Balonik”. In 1907 he moved back to Lviv. During the First World War he fought in the Polish legions . From 1920 to 1930 he was a professor at the State Trade School in Lviv and from 1930 to 1939 at the Art Academy in Cracow.

Sichulski was a member of the artists' association "Sztuka" and the Viennese group Hagenbund . He mainly painted genre scenes. It and its Carpathian landscapes had great success in European galleries. Since his first visit to the Hutsuls in the winter of 1915 , he was fascinated by their folklore and rites . As with his painting colleagues Władysław Jarocki and Fryderyk Pautsch , this life-affirming way of life was incorporated into many of his colorful pictures. The three painters were therefore often referred to as "The Hutsuls". His subject was not the elegant elegance of Krakow, but the vitality and originality of rural life in the Tatras .

His pictures became international in Munich (1905), Venice (1907, 1910, 1914 and 1932), Rome (1911 and 1934), Berlin (1914 and 1937), Paris (1923, 1930 and 1931), Budapest (1926), and Pittsburgh (1926), Helsinki and Stockholm (1927). In 1938, Sichulski received the “Złoty Wawrzyn Akademicki” award from the Polska Akademia Literatury for his outstanding contribution to Polish art. His wife was the Kraków theater actress Bronisława Rudlicka.
