Description of contents:
Maja Berezowska was an eminent Polish painter, graphic designer, caricaturist and scene painter.
Before the II World War she got famous because of the subtle graphics showing off erotic themes. The climax of human feelings and the acts of physical love were the permanent motives of her artistic records through all her life. The pictures of characters in non conventional figures were widely observed in her collections. Till 1939 the popular satirical weekly newspapers were entailing her caricatures, drawings and illustrations. During the socialism's period in Poland she illustrated several books: mainly that were poetic collections, satirical sets, drawings entailed in the chess books. After her death there started to appear the collected editions of her drawings and watercolours.
A peculiar case was the matter of her caricatures' cycle dedicated to Hitler- namely “The Love Affairs of the Sweet Adolf”, that appeared in Paris. The German Embassy in Paris stood up in a opposition to that, proving it was a matter of the political insult, however Maja succeeded to win her case in the court. Later, during the war she had to get through the concentration camp Ravensbruck, happily avoiding death despite the former sentence.
