Stanisław Prauss lived and worked in his hometown of Kielce. He studied in Warszawa and Kraków from 1924-33. His work included oil paintings, watercolors and drawings, often inspired by landscapes, rural buildings and nature from his home region. He also produced historical pictures, genre scenes, nudes and still lifes, portraits and caricatures. Horses were also among his favorite objects. His twin brother Ryszard (1902-55) was also a painter. Stanisław Prauss was still a student when he submitted his woodcut “Horse Show”, which was originally titled “Tempo”.
