Signed p. d.: Szancenbach.
"Those interested in and loving painting have their eyes on Szancenbach's paintings, in which he painted still lifes with purple, sliced cavas and colorful fruits, landscapes with rows of flowering trees, Parisian landscapes pulsating with speckles of color, or gray-blue Norwegian fjords. For Jan Szancenbach was an artist who was not afraid to paint what he himself liked and what others liked and enjoy. (...)
As a teacher, Jan Szancenbach combined tremendous erudition, reading, with the ability to talk about art, to analyze, to justify remarks. This inspired respect (...) He was a teacher who advised the young to paint. That they should not give up the joy and hardship of working on a painting. (...)
In the 1970s Jan Szancenbach, together with Jacek Wozniak, conceived and organized the excellent exhibition "Color in Polish painting of the 19th and 20th centuries." It wisely corrected the circulating and superficial opinions about the phenomenon of Polish colorism."
