"Winter Tale," Ferdynand Ruszczyc, 1904.
Scion of an aristocratic Polish family, Ruszczyc (1870-1936) was a painter, printmaker, and scenic designer. Born in present-day Belarus, and educated in Minsk and St. Petersburg, he traveled to Crimea (to paint seascapes), Berlin (where he discovered the Symbolist style), and western Europe (where he became acquainted with Art Nouveau) before settling in Poland to work and teach first in Warsaw, then in Krakow. One of his Warsaw students was the great Abstract artist M. K. Čiurlionis, whose enigmatic art I've featured before.
It was during his Warsaw period that he painted this, a depiction of a forest pond (the black circle) surrounded by trees covered in heavy frost. His diary speaks of wanting this to resemble a fairy tale scene, and one can spot the influence of Art Nouveau in the curled branches; he wanted them to resemble the lacy curls of frost on a window.
He later moved to Vilnius, Lithuania, and became a major figure in the cultural scene there, designing sets and costumes for a local theater, graphic design, book illustration, and more teaching, eventually becoming the dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts at present-day Vilnius University.
From the National Museum in Krakow.

"Ruins of the Lubomirski Palace on Iron Gate Square in Warsaw," Edward Okuń, 1939.
An elegiac picture; the Lubomirski Palace was bombed during the Nazi invasion of Poland in September of 1939, and if you look close, you can see a trio of Nazi soldiers standing in front of the ruins. The setting sun and overcast sky add to the mournfulness here.
From the Museum of Warsaw, Poland.

"AA70," Zdzisław Beksiński, 1970
A bizarre, dreamlike image, which marked a turning point in the painter's career, launching him into what has been described as "fantastic realism." Interpretations abound, but he has steadfastly refused to explain anything going on here or in his other works. He doesn't even title them.
From the Historical Museum in Sanok, Poland.
