Piłsudski in Zdzisław Czermański’s Artistic Rendering

Abstract

This article discusses the artistic output of the eminent Polish cartoonist Zdzisław Czermański from the interwar period (1918–39). The text has been divided into five parts. The discussion of Czermański’s cartoons and portrayals showing the figure of Józef Piłsudski has enabled the author to present the most important artistic achievements of this Polish artist. The author has also recollected other subjects of the artist’s works created for the American press (Czermański moved to New York in April 1941).
