Jerzy Flisak was born in 1930 and died in 2008 in Warsaw. In 1953, he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Warsaw University of Technology, but pursued a career in graphic design. He was one of Poland's notable poster artists and illustrators, and is now associated above all with satirical drawing.
He designed film posters, including for “The Comancheros” (1965), “Blood Feud”, “Paper Moon” (1975), “Forced Entry” (1976) and “How I Unleashed World War II” (1975). He created the graphic design for the animated films “An Expedition to the Forest” (1976), “Auntie's Name Day” (1977), “Cricket Concert” (1980) and “The Mouse and the Cat” (1981). For more than 20 years, he drew the comic strip “Bobik” for “Świerszczyk”.
He received the Minister of Culture and Art's Award (1961), a distinction from the New York Art Directors Club for the poster “Blood Feud” (1962), the Golden Pin twice (1967 and 1972), and the Prime Minister's Award (1985). His work was exhibited repeatedly by the Museum of Caricature in Warsaw, including in 1985, 1995 and 2001. His oeuvre thus encompasses three intersecting areas: film posters, illustration and satirical drawing, and graphics for animated films, aimed largely at children.
