Grotesque Heads “Carved” from Pasteboard (Jun, 1934)
Grotesque Heads “Carved” from Pasteboard
Masks and heads bearing a striking resemblance to the persons caricatured are “carved” from plain cardboard or tin sheet metal by a Polish sculptor and painter. Scissors and paper clips form his only tools in fashioning the grotesque figures which have attracted attention in European art circles and won him praise.
God forbid they give his name.

Blurgle: I was thinking the same thing. It’s so weird how they do that. Polish artist?

This is the kind of thing for BoingBoing.

I tried looking for him on Wikipedia, but there are just too many entries for Polish artists in the English Wikipedia (never mind the Polish Wikipedia – apparently the Polish are much more into fine art than we North Americans are) to figure it out.
