The canary Elijah (ur. 1901 Warsaw, zm. at the beginning. 70's in the USA).
Painter, illustrator, member of the Society of St.. Luke. He studied art at the SSP in Warsaw under the supervision of T.. Pruszkowski. Then he got involved with colleagues from the studio, he took part in the Brotherhood's exhibitions in Poland and abroad, he participated in a large common painting work, which was the performance of seven great historical compositions, intended for the honorary hall of the Polish pavilion at the World Exhibition in New York in 1938. He started with dark tones, soon, however, he came closer to the indications of colorism; he represented the wing of the Brotherhood leaning towards French painting. He often used deformation, he did not shy away from the grotesque and the grotesque, many of his works also prove his unmistakable color talent. He was attracted to religious painting, and since the Children's Crusade, images of children have entered the constant motifs of his work, as a specific specialty. He also painted numerous female portraits, sometimes too flattering and too sweet. He was also the author of illustrations for a literary pastiche Mr. Pickwck in Timberland and an associate of the satirical magazine “High-heeled shoes”.
