Fotografia przedstawia profil Juliana Tuwima. Jest to młody mężczyzna o długim nosie i głęboko osadzonych oczach, szpakowaty. Ma wąskie usta i gładką skórę twarzy. Włosy ma zaczesane do tyłu. Na fotografii zamieszczono następujące informacje: 1. Hometown. Julian Tuwim’s hometown was Łódź. It was there where a young Tuwim observed the ambivalent consequences of industrialization: the dynamic development of the town and the inseparable hard fate of the "simple man" - the worker. These experiences - among many others - are expressed in his poetry. 2. Début. His first poetry book was the collection of “Czyhanie na Boga” (In Lurking for God), published in 1918. In later years, he published seven volumes of his poems. 3. Tuwim - The Provoker. Explicit, naturalistic imaging, irony and sarcasm of the lyrical subject as well as unconventional language were perceived as an aesthetic and moral provocation. In this way, the name Tuwim gained notoriety, and the literary circles discussed the limits of artistic freedom. The dispute constituted an important part to the formation of the future Skamander group. 4. Poems for Children. One cannot forget the perfect poems for children (including “Lokomotywa” (Locomotive), “Rzepka” (Turnip), “Ptasie radio” (Bird Radio), “Słoń Trąbalski” (Elephant Trąbalsk), “Zosia Samosia”), which are now a canon of this type of literature. 5. Mental State. Because of his Jewish origin, Tuwim was persecuted in the interwar period and sometimes even brutally attacked by nationalist circles. These experiences, combined with a fear of open spaces, depression and a complex resulting from having a visible mark on his face, permanently marked his work. 6. War Period. In 1936, Tuwim wrote the satirical and catastrophic poem “Bal w Operze” (Bal in the Opera), which was only published 10 years later. During the war, Tuwim was in exile, mainly in the USA. At that time, he started working on his “Kwiaty polskie” (Polish Flowers). The first part of a larger, however, never-finished work was published in 1949. 7. Post War. In 1946 he returned to Poland. He became involved with the regime and the authorities of the People's Poland, thanks to which he became an important personality of official cultural life. At the time, he continued his work as a translator, but after the war not many of his original poetic works were created. The majority of the works were not of the same quality as those from the pre-war period.
