One of the most outstanding and well-known Polish directors. Creator of the "Polish film school." During the war he attended clandestine classes in Radom, and also began to study painting. According to his own recollections, he spent the war in his father's brothers' house in Cracow, where he also took painting lessons for a while. After the war ended, he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow from 1946 to 1950, before moving on to directing at the Film School in Lodz. In an interview he says: "I don't paint, but I draw a lot, noting in this way what surrounds me. This is the best method of remembering". In 1997 he became a member of the French Academy of Fine Arts, replacing Federico Fellini.
