Born in Warsaw in 1895 or 1896 and died in 1979, Dorota Kucembianka, known as Dora Bianka, was a Polish painter and illustrator from the Paris school. Established in Paris on the eve of the Great War, she quickly joined the Parisian avant-garde of the 1920s. Presented by Joan Miró, she exhibited at the Salon d'Automne and at the Salon des Indépendants in 1924-1925 and then from 1926 at the Salon des tuileries. Initially close to cubism and surrealism, Dora Bianka gradually built her own artistic vision. While leading the life of a modern woman, Dora Bianka remained an artist apart. Today, very little remains of her brilliant career which made this Polish painter a popular artist.
