Life

Jarocki studied at the Politechnika in Lemberg and from 1902 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow under Józef Mehoffer and Leon Wyczółkowski . In 1903 he broke off his studies in Cracow and moved to Tatarów in the east of Lesser Poland . From 1906 to 1907 he studied in Paris at the Académie Julian . In 1911 he moved to Lemberg , where he worked from 1920 to 1921 as a lecturer for drawing at the architecture faculty of the Politechnika.

From 1921 to 1939 he worked as a professor at the Academy in Cracow. Paweł Dadlez , Adam Marczyński and Stanisław Borysowski were among his students there . Jarocki was a member of Towarzystwo Artystów Polskich "Sztuka" . He was also chairman of the Krakow Society of Friends of Fine Art from 1927 to 1935 .
