Painter, draughtsman, engraver and teacher, born in Halicz, Poland. He studied art at Edinburgh College of Art from 1946 to 1949 under William Gillies, John Maxwell and William MacTaggart. A travelling scholarship took him to France and Italy, after which he did a postgraduate year, teaching at the College. He also taught at Gray’s Art School in Aberdeen and at the West Surrey College of Art and Design, taking early retirement as head of the school of painting in 1984. He settled at Liphook, Hampshire, but also worked in Ibiza, where he had a second home. Muszynski's richly coloured paintings were widely shown in solo exhibitions in London, in other British cities and abroad, among the last being those at Pallant House and the Canon Gallery, Chichester, a retrospective in Poznan and another at the Polish Cultural Institute, London.
