so he made art showing concentration camps after the war. this is also why he made an amazing scientific illustrator that were featured in a lot of prominent books in Poland. his art inspires others and serves as amazing references to this day. 2/3

to elaborate, he was a prisoner of Auschwitz. he wasn’t killed because his oppressors forced him to make their portraits and signs for the camp. but he also risked his life making portraits of other prisoners, some of which were secretly sent to their families. he had amazing visual memory 1/?

i actually don’t use lino, but homogenous PVC flooring, mostly Tarkett brand. it holds more detail than traditional lino and can get some offcuts for free from flooring stores
