Janusz Benedyktowicz - (1918 - 2001). Graduated with honors from the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow. He was primarily engaged in printmaking and painting, less frequently in medals, ex-libris and advertising typography. He created landscapes, views of architecture and still lifes, as well as graphics with religious themes, sometimes reaching for science-fiction motifs and erotic scenes maintained in the pop-art convention. The inspiration of folk art is often visible in his work. He has presented his works in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions, at home and abroad. He was also the author of a number of studies in the field of lettering and typography.
