==Biography==

Rudzka-Cybisowa was born on 27 June 1897 in Mława, Poland. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where she was taught by Miłosz Kotarbiński. In 1923 Rudzka-Cybisowa became a student of the Polish Impressionist Józef Pankiewicz. In 1924 she traveled to Paris along with a group of Polish students who named themselves the Komitet Paryski (the Paris Committee, also called the Kapists). The same year she married the painter Jan Cybis (1897-1972) who was also part of the Komitet Paryski.{{cite web |title=Hanna Natalia Rudzka-Cybisowa |url=https://www.ipsb.nina.gov.pl/a/biografia/hanna-natalia-anna-rudzka-cybisowa |website=Polish Biographical Dictionary |publisher=Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences |access-date=14 April 2021 |language=pl}} The couple stayed in France from 1924 through to 1931.{{cite web |title=Hanna Rudzka-Cybisgwa |url=https://rkd.nl/nl/explore/artists/68773 |website=RKD |access-date=14 April 2021 |language=nl}}

From 1931 through to 1933 Rudzka-Cybisowa lived in Kraków, returning for a time to Paris where she had a solo show at the Renaissance Gallery.
