Czeslaw Wasilewski was a self-taught painter. In 1911 he enrolled in the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw, but nothing is known about his studies. It is possible that in the years 1913-17 he attended the studio W. Kossaka, for whom he later, (in the early 1920s) prepared under-paintings for paintings.
In his works he was inspired, both in formal terms and by the subject matter taken up, by the painting of Polish Munich – Alfred Wierusz-Kowalski, Józef Brandt and Józef Chelmonski. He painted scenes from hunting, speeding sleds, travel accidents, sleighs, as well as battle scenes.
