Odo Dobrowolski attended middle school in Lviv. He initially studied fine arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, probably as a free student, then, in 1908-09, he stayed in Paris taking advantage of Jan Styka's tutelage there. After a fleeting stay in Munich, he settled in Lviv. In 1915 he left for Russia. He left behind a considerable number of works, primarily small-scale watercolors, gouaches, pastels and ink sketches. These are mainly landscapes with architectural motifs. In 1912 he participated in an exhibition of sketches of the Literary and Artistic Circle in Lviv. He published a series of color autolithographs "Lviv".
