Eugeniusz Geppert (Lviv 1890 - Wroclaw 1979) studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lviv from 1912-14 and 1918-1920 under Jacek Malczewski and Stanisław Dębicki. He received his diploma in 1920. In 1925-1927, as a scholarship holder of the ZPAP, he stayed in Paris, where he went many times later as well. In 1928 he returned to Poland and settled in Cracow. He belonged to the "Zwornik" and "New Generation" groups, was a member of the editorial board of "Głos Plastyków" and was vice-president and representative of Poland in the "Confédération Internationale des Associations Plastiques." After the war, he settled permanently in Wroclaw, where he became a professor at the State Higher School of Plastic Arts, in various years serving as director, rector, head of the painting studio. In 1962 he co-founded a grouping of visual artists, the so-called "Wroclaw School." One of the favorite motifs of his paintings were horse riders, depicted in both historical and contemporary battle and genre scenes. Here the artist referred to the whole tradition of Polish painting, especially to the paintings of P. Michałowski. He also painted landscapes, still lifes and nudes.
