| Additional information |
Makowski died in Paris in 1932, having spent most of his adult life in France after leaving Poland in 1908. His reputation rested almost entirely on paintings of children rendered in a style blending folk art with post-Cubist geometry — a niche that made him critically respected but commercially marginal during his lifetime. The NBP's Nordic gold collector series has issued dozens of commemoratives honoring Polish cultural figures, and Makowski fits squarely among the painters and poets the series has favored since the late 1990s.
