Biography
An outstanding draftsman and painter. He studied art from 1924 to 1929 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. He created mainly book illustrations—drawings in pen and ink characterized by a light touch, washed with gouache or tempera. From 1945 to 1956, he was associated with the weekly magazine *Przekrój*. He gained great popularity for his views of old Warsaw and illustrations depicting the lives of its residents, as well as for his lighthearted, whimsical scenes drawn with a light touch, full of humor and imagination. He illustrated classics of Polish and foreign literature. He also worked in theater, television, and film set design, and designed posters.
