Teodor Grott (Częstochowa 1884 - Cracow 1972) - studied at the Cracow Academy of Fine Arts from 1903 to 1909, first under Florian Cynk, then under Leon Wyczółkowski. During his studies he received medals for his schoolwork several times. Then he continued his education in Paris, from where he traveled to Brussels and London and traveled to Italy. He lived permanently in Cracow, where - starting in 1910 - he exhibited a lot at the Society of Friends of Fine Arts. In time, he became an honorary member of the Society; from 1949, he was office manager and exhibition organizer. From 1912 he also belonged to the Society of Polish Artists Art. He painted landscapes (including those of the Tatra Mountains, Ukraine, Italy and France), old architecture, flowers and still lifes, portraits and nudes. He most often used the perfectly mastered technique of watercolor, but also painted in oil. He was involved in handicrafts; together with his wife he founded and ran a kilim factory in Cracow.
