Collections

Boleslaw Cybis (1895 – 1957)

Lithuanian-born Boleslaw Cybis emigrated to the United States at the outbreak of the Second World War from Poland, established a studio in Trenton, New Jersey, and soon after became a United States citizen.

Although he had spent his early years as a painter, Cybis was fascinated with three-dimensional porcelain art, and upon coming to the United States began to focus more and more on porcelain sculpture using techniques derived from his study of the Old Masters in Europe.

Today, Cybis porcelains porcelains are given as gifts of state and found in the permanent collections of museums, embassies, government buildings and art galleries around the world
