Krystyna Wróblewska

Krystyna Wróblewska (1904 – 1994), was a Polish painter, graphic artist, book designer and member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She was the wife of Bronisław Wróblewski, Rector of the University of Stefan Batory in Wilno in the Second Polish Republic (now Vilnius, Lithuania), and mother of the iconic Polish postwar painter Andrzej Wróblewski born in Wilno in 1927. Wróblewska studied fine arts under Ludomir Sleńdziński and Jerzy Hoppen during the interwar period and graduated from the Art Department of Wilno University in 1937, two years ahead of the Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland. In 1938 she went to Paris and continued her studies at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière.
