A synopsis:
Fantastic review of works a famous Polish graphic artist and illustrator - Andrzej Heidrich. Many Poles had never heard of him, but his designs are everywhere: on the banknotes people carry in their wallets and use every day. He was born in Warsaw in 1928 and studied at the Graphics Department of the city’s Academy of Fine Arts, graduating with a distinction. In 1960, the National Bank of Poland invited him to start working with it. The first banknote designed by him was a 500 złoty from 1974 portraying military leader Tadeusz Kościuszko, with a high collar and flowing curls. Over the course of his long career, Heidrich designed the banknotes in the “Great Poles” series, used between 1975 and 1996, and then the “Kings and Princes of Poland” ones, which have been used in Poland since 1995. He also designed stamps for the Polish Post Office and other widely-recognised symbols, including the current form of the white eagle on Poland’s crest of arms and the eagles on the caps of Polish soldiers’ uniforms.
In addition to his work as a designer, Heidrich worked as an illustrator. From 1974 until 1989, he was the chief graphic artist at the Czytelnik publishing house. He created the covers and illustrations for books by leading Polish authors, notably travel writer Ryszard Kapuściński. Heidrich received various state honours for his work. The banknote with the image of Marshal Piłsudski received the Banknote of the Year award in 2015. This book contains all the artist's most important designs, including the famous banknote with the image of Marshal Piłsudski. He died in 2019.
