Wladyslaw Brzosko, a son of a Polish prisoner of the Czar of Russia, was born in Czyta, Siberia, in 1912. After the October Revolution of 1917 his father worked as arailway engineer and Wladyslaw spent his childhood travelling across Russia, China and Japan. While visiting an art museum in Vladivostok, Brzosko became fascinated by Russian landscape painter Ivan Aivazovsky and soon began to train as an artist. Upon his return to Poland in the 1930s, he enrolled in the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts where he studied under Professors Kotarbinski and Skoczylas. During the years of Germanoccupation, Brzosko participated in the Polish Underground (AK) and witnessed the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto in April and May 1943. The memory of this event haunted him for years after emigrating from Poland in
