Mehoffer was a noted Polish painter who was trained in Paris and Vienna. He was awarded a gold medal for his outstanding participation to the Paris World Fair in 1900 and the Saint Louis World Fair in 1904. He was also a member of the Viennese Secession. In 1897, Mehoffer was among the founders of the society Sztuka, which proclaimed the independence of Polish art and refused from then on to have their work exhibited abroad as part of Russian, Austrian or German sections. There was an exhibition of his work at the d'Orsay Museum, Paris.
