Władysław Ludwig Ślewiński was a Polish painter, one of the representatives of Young Poland, a post-impressionist. He studied for a short time at Wojciech Gerson's Drawing School. His work was strongly influenced by the artistic environment of the Pont-Aven group and the paintings of Paul Gauguin (he was friends with him). He used clear outline, he got rid of "unnecessary" details. He painted mainly oil pictures. Since 1910, he settled permanently in Brittany, France, where he created a particularly beautiful series of coastal landscapes. He was a professor at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts.
