Maestro Ryszard Morawski - Pacem Aeternam

 Salvete Omnes,

 sad news today -

maestro Ryszard Morawski (born 1933) , Polish illustrator and historical artists - sculpture, painting and other graphic arts, passed away yesterday - 29th of August, 2023.
Pan Ryszard was trained at the Fine Arts Academy in Warsaw, Poland, with painting masters like Michal Bylina and Antoni Trzeszczykowski., both veterans of the Polish Army  and combatants of the wars, Trzeszczykowski of the Polish-Ruso War of 1920 and Bylina of 1939 and Home Army through 1944.
There is an interview, done by Adam Paczuski, with Ryszard Morawski on Napoleon website - in Polish, but can be easily translated via google books, to get the gist of it. Long time ago in NYC I met Andrzej  Zaremba, who cooperated with maestro Morawski, in his bookstore there. Nota bene Ryszard Morawski painted many portraits of the famous Polish Arabian horses from  the Arabian Horse Janow Podlaski Stud.

I started my adventure with Pan Ryszard's work via Polish comics magazine Relax (where his uniforms plates were published, along the comics stories by great artists like Grzegorz Rosinski Marek Szyszko, Christa, Boguslaw Polch, Jerzy Wroblewski etc, then the Cavalry of Duchy of Warsaw  and other of his fine books, of which I am attaching the covers - note I hold no copyrights to those images, as present them here only for educational purposes - of his albums that I have in my own library. 

His fine albums, individual plates and other art can be had from his Polish publisher Karabela.

Pacem Aeternam
