Tadeusz Zaremba – a highly versatile museum worker, conservator, pedagogue, painter, with particular penchant for marine paintings, and a sea traveller – passed away. Having graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, in 1968 he started working for the Mazovian Museum in Płock where he organised and headed a conservation workshop, the first one in the Warsaw region. In 1973, he was appointed Deputy Director of the Museum, and in 1977 – its Director, the position which he kept for 27 years. Although he did not resign from conservation, he was mostly involved in the preventive conservation. Further, his professional assignments involved arranging exhibitions, including the exposition “Polish Art 1900–1975” organised at the Secession Association in Vienna on the occasion of the Innsbruck Winter Olympic Games held in 1976. He organised several dozen Secession-related exhibitions in Poland, and a number of exhibitions of the Płock collection in Europe, including Arezzo and Indelheim. In addition to the above activities, Tadeusz Zaremba was a painter, predominantly a marine painter; he took part in 52 exhibitions and organised 5 individual ones. In 2002, he organised his presumably greatest exhibition entitled “Influence of Secession on Polish Contemporary Visual Arts”. The exhibition presented his own paintings as well. He worked hard and with dedication, with a view to preserving cultural heritage, pursuing this goal with deep respect and high expertise. He passed away as one of those who have made our life richer, thanks to their work and talent.
