Jerzy Makarewicz (born 1907 in Vienna, died 1944 in Kraków) was a Polish painter. In 1929, he began studying at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków, where he was a student of Władysław Jarocki, and a year later, he advocated the artwork of Stanisław Szukalski, which in effect caused in him to be expelled from the institution. He moved to the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he was taught by Tadeusz Pruszkowski. After completing his studies, he moved to Kraków, where he was taught by Fryderyk Pautsch. In 1936, he bought a circus wagon, and organised a travelling workshop (wędrująca pracownia) - which allowed him to work while travelling. In 1943, he was arrested and imprisoned in Kraków, a year later he was murdered in the Płaszów Concentration Camp.
