His father Antoni Robert Stanisławski was a Polish poet faumous for translation of Divine Comedy by Dante into Polish language (not Russian nor Ukrainian). <br /><br />Here is a link to Ukrainian Encyclopedia where you can find info that Jan Stanisławski was a Polish painter. http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages\S\T\StanisK5awskiJan.htm<br />Jan Stanisławski is called a Polish painter (польский художник) in Russian Wikipedia too. Please, check it, writing Станиславский, Ян in it.

In that he lived and worked most of his life in Krakow creates a quandary for anyone writing about the man. Do you consider the place of birth as the basis for his nationality or where he spent his life and died? Given the fluid borders of Eastern Europe during much of its past history, a "then and now" element also complicates the designation as to nationality. His work tends to be lumped in with Russian art by critics and other writers (including myself). I suppose we could settle this by applying hyphens (Polish-Russian or Ukrainian-Polish) but in a blog such as this in which I try to simplify art, and especially art history, for the reader who may have only a passing interest in either one, I tend to give the greatest weight to an artist's place of birth. I did, however, go to some lengths to identify Stanislawski with his Polish presence as well as his Russian-Ukrainian roots.<br /><br />Thanks for your comment and thanks for following my blog. I hope this explains my reasoning.Jim Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882369817190401530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8355717446968368001.post-84917060188502063082015-11-06T03:02:55.368-05:002015-11-06T03:02:55.368-05:00Jan Stanisławski was POLISH painter.
