1897 – 1949 A Polish painter, graphic artist, sculptor, scenographer and co-author of architectural projects, regarded as one of the pioneers of Constructivism in Poland. Associated with the interwar avant-garde, she was a co-founder of the Blok Group of Cubists, Constructivists and Suprematists and co-editor of the magazine Blok. Closely collaborating with Mieczysław Szczuka, she developed radical interdisciplinary practices combining abstraction, typography, photomontage, political graphics and architectural design. Her work was strongly influenced by Russian Constructivism and the Dutch De Stijl movement, while her socially engaged posters and photomontages connected avant-garde experimentation with leftist political activism. After emigrating from Poland in 1937, she lived in Paris, Lisbon, Canada and finally New York, where she continued her artistic practice during and after World War II.

Works in collection i.a.: Museum of Art in Łódź, as well as public and private collections in Poland, Europe and the United States connected with the international Constructivist avant-garde.
