Jacques or Jacob Koslowsky ( Pakuonis, Lithuania, 1904 - Palma de Mallorca, Spain, 1993 ) is an American painter of Lithuanian origin.
Jacques Koslowsky was born in Pakuonis, a village some twenty kilometers south of Kaunas. Lithuania belonged then to the Russian Empire.
In 1924 his father accepted his departure for Florence to undertake medical studies. He attends anatomy classes and devotes the rest of his time to painting. The following year he was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence where he was trained by Felice Carena. He spends some time in Tel Aviv, in then British Mandatory Palestine, where he practices painting and art criticism. He moved to Paris to the Latin Quarter, rue Monge. He is known as Jacques Koslowsky, easier to remember than his Lithuanian name, Jokūbas Kazlauskas. He graduated from the L'Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in 1932. He then occupied a studio in the Montparnasse district , rue d'Arsonval.
In 1927 , he exhibited for the first time two of his works at the Salon d'Automne .
In 1930 , he became a permanent member of the Salon des Indépendants society.
In mid- June 1940 before the German advance, he decided to leave France. He crosses the borderto Spain on August 22 , 1940 and embarked August 26 , 1940 in Lisbon for the United States. Little appreciative of the city of New York, he finds his inspiration in museums. He paints for the galleries Burrel, Rembrandt and Glezer.
He was granted American citizenship in 1946. He returned to France in 1947, finding his studio intact. He exhibits again at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne, but sells mainly in the United States. Two of his works previously exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants entered in 1952 the French National Collections. In 1964, he discovers the island of Mallorca . Enchanted by his climate and his landscapes, he moved there, first temporarily to Deià , then finally to Bunyola.
