Anna Goslawska-Lipinska, Ha-Ga (born October 22, 1915 in Moscow, died April 14, 1975 in Warsaw) - Polish illustrator. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in the studio of Prof. Miłosz Kotarbinski. In 1936 she debuted with her first drawing in Szpilki, signed with her artistic pseudonym Ha-Ga ("Ha" from Hanna - the first name she used, "Ga" from her last name; the author of the idea was satirist Andrzej Nowicki). She was a regular contributor to Szpilki (her author's weekly column, containing two drawings, was published every week); in addition, she published her work in Przekrój, Express Wieczorny, Stolica, German Eulenspiegel, Soviet Krokodil and French L'Humanité Dimanche, among others. She designed posters and illustrated children's books and magazines (including Julian Tuwim's Zosia Samosia; she regularly collaborated with Świerszczyk), and made advertising drawings.
