    M. Arct | Warszawie 1936 | 18 x 25,5 cm | in original wrappers
    First edition.

    Rare handwritten inscription from Josef Pankiewicz to [Moïse] Kisling.
    Illustrations. Three light, minor snags at the top of the spine, tiny marginal tears without pieces missing at the top of the first board, otherwise pleasant copy.

    In 1906, Pankiewicz was appointed professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. Notably, one of his pupils was Moïse Kisling whom he encouraged to abandon sculpture in favor of painting. He introduced the young man to French painting and more specifically Cézanne and Renoir. In 1910, on the advice of his mentor, Kisling – aged nineteen years old – left Poland for Paris where he quickly became a significant figure of Parisian artistic life.
