Dora Bianka

Dora Bianka (née Dorota Kucembianka; November 6, 1895, or 1896 – September 8, 1979) was a Polish painter and illustrator. She was known for her still life paintings; and landscape painting, particularly of seascapes of the South of France, and views of Paris. Her father was a magistrate, and their family was wealthy. She attended a school for young girls founded by countess Cecylia Plater-Zyberk in Warsaw.

Bianka studied painting under Fernand Humbert and Louis Biloul at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 1923, she first exhibited at the Salon d'Automne. In 1924, she exhibited at the salon and was presented by Joan Miró, and she continued to exhibit her work at the Salon d'Automne for many years after.

During World War II, she settled in Aix-en-Provence.

Bianka's artwork was mostly forgotten, but she has been experienced a second wave of attention. In 2023, the Polish Library in Paris hosted a solo exhibition.
