context_page_description: Ludwik Konarzewski – junior was a Polish painter, sculptor and teacher of fine arts who worked in Upper Silesia and Cieszyn Silesia. A square in Rydułtowy is named after him.
  Konarzewski owed his primary artistic education to his father, Ludwik Konarzewski – senior. He started his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in 1938, and finished in 1948, being interrupted by the Second World War. He studied under the direction of the following colourist painters: Wladyslaw Jarocki, Fryderyk Pautsch, Jerzy Fedkowicz, Zbigniew Pronaszko, Eugeniusz Eibisch and also, temporarily, Wojciech Weiss. He studied sculpture under Xawery Dunikowski and Stanisław Horno-Popławski. He created outdoor monuments such as the sculpture of Karol Miarka in Zabrze and Silesian Insurgents in Rydułtowy.
  Konarzewski worked as a teacher in Rydułtowy, near Rybnik for 30 years. He was a director of the state owned Art Centre that he set up with his father. He had an influence on the artistic and esthetic tastes of the local community – just as his father had done in Istebna in the period between the two wars.
