"Vue de Mergellina Naples" by Felicia Pacanowska, a work in acrylic on canvas signed and dated 1952.
Felicia Pacanowska (1907 – 2002) was born n Lodz, Poland and trained at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw graduating in painting and engraving.
In 1932 Pacanowska left Poland to join the School of Paris and then travelled to Italy and England before returning to Poland to exhibit her works at The Institute of Art. This would be the last time she saw her parents who became victims of the Nazi oppression. Felicia returned to Paris to perfect her art but then the war began. It was an extremely difficult and dangerous period in her life, with the constant threat of persecution. Whilst lucky to escape a raid in 1942 with her life, she did lose all her work and tools.
After the war finished finished Pacanowska went to Italy where she studied sculpture at the Academy of Rome, before returning to Paris in 1947 where she started painting, drawing, etching, aquatinting and working with pastels again.
Pacanowska's work leans from figurative towards abstraction and often evokes cubist origins. She exhibited at many of the major exhibitions in France and her work is held in public collections.
