	Kinoeye \| Polish film: A profile of Jan Lenica, master animator
		Lenica, on the other hand, remained faithful to his origins in the graphic arts, pursuing wordless dramas using elegant cutouts against colorful, pictorial backdrops.
		Lenica returned to animation in the mid-nineties, embarking on a feature-length project in collaboration with his brother-in-law, the acclaimed writer Tadeusz Konwicki, author of Mała Apokalipsa (A Minor Apocalypse).
		Lenica labored on the project for several years at the Miniatura studios in Poland, screening extracts occasionally at animation festivals.

	Polish culture: Jan Lenica
		Son of Alfred Lenica, the painter, Jan Lenica graduated from a secondary school of music in Poznan in 1947 and from Warsaw Polytechnic in 1952.
		The fact is, however, that the cutout technique used by Borowczyk and Lenica in their first films, and then by Lenica in a couple of his subsequent film, proved successful in producing effects which were funny and satirical, surrealistically grotesque, or absurd and horrific as in Ionesco and Kafka.
		Lenica was an extraordinarily versatile artist, working at the meeting points of genres, blurring the borders, juggling with conventions and challenging esthetic standards.

	Jan Lenica - Films as director and animator:, Films as animator:
		The films Lenica made on his own, like Borowczyk's later work, are even more preoccupied with the grotesque, though Lenica's are more concerned with the confrontation of innocent Everymen and modern Candides, with a hellish world of threatening technology—violent, unpredictable, and self-referential.
		One troubling aspect of Lenica's work remains the presence of a certain latent misogyny, particularly evinced by Nature morte, that is somewhat reminiscent of his compatriot Roman Polanski, for whom he designed the British film posters for Repulsion and Cul-de-sac.
		Jarry's text, however, was attractive to Lenica due to its emphasis on the grotesque and the satirical, which complemented Lenica's earliest interest in caricature.

		The fragment of Lenica I encountered sporadically through letter and sight over a three-month period in the summer of 2000 (we were honouring him at the Ottawa '00 International Animation Festival) was one of a grumpy old man who appeared unappreciative and uncooperative.
		The darkness within Jan Lenica left an impression on me. His sourness led me to try and grasp why he was the way he was.
		He was a son, father, husband and friend, and worst of all, just a man. Jan Lenica's naked humility shattered my fears for a moment and inadvertently led me to reach farther inside to scour through my own blood and guts.

		His protagonists (think Jan Lenica as performed by Buster Keaton through Beckett and Ionesco and Gilliam) travel through a world of violence, paranoia, anxiety and absurdity.
		Poland was an economically unstable country, but the Lenica family (father, Alfred was a musician) enjoyed a relatively cozy existence until 1939 when the Nazis forced the family into exile in Southern Poland.
		Lenica, along with Walerian Borowcyzk, were among the first to make animation films in 1957 when they made the film Once Upon A Time.

	Polish culture: WALERIAN BOROWCZYK
		Before the films of Lenica and Borowczyk, animated films in Poland were a less valued form, thought to be films addressed to children, without any great artistic or visual - not to mention philosophical - aspirations.
		Here, he and Lenica even used photographs made by the pioneer of cinema, Jules Marey, stripping Marey's shots down to their constituent parts and introducing jerky movement akin to the first ever films.
		Lenica was closer to Feuillade's films about Fantomas and Chaplin's burlesques.

	Masters of Animation: Jan Lenica and Composer Normand Roger
		Jan Lenica once offered the following self-description: "I move on the fringes of fine art, film, and literature; no dictionary has a name for this kind of occupation." Although resistant to categorization, the output of this varied career has included graphic art, posters, collages, drawings, and award-winning animated films.
		Born in 1928 in Poland, Lenica began making films in 1957, working initially in his native country and then in France, West Germany, and the United States.
		Lenica’s graphic style characteristically favors thick outlines and heavily stylized design, cutout figures, and collage, all set to simply choreographed movement.

	Wild Realm Reviews: Jan Lenica animation
		Jan Lenica's influfence on Terry Gilliam would seem to be palpable, but where Gilliam makes it funny & absurd, Lenica makes it absurd & nightmarish, more Kafka to Gilliam as P. Barnum.
		Entering the sinister old apartment house, we observe surrealistic events, such as a soldering gun used as a pistol to insert light into a floating brain that attaches itself to a machine that generates additional objects.
		There is no sense of continuity or build-up of story, however surreal, & it doesn't even restrict itself to events within the apartment house, since landscapes & street scenes are inserted at one point.

		The most important artists of the Polish poster school were Jozef Mroszczak, Wojciech Zamecznik, Jan Mlodozeniec, Waldemar Swierzy, Jan Lenica and Franciszek Starowieyski.
		Jan Mlodozeniec consciously adhered to Primitivism, efficiently using simple, almost childish lines and spots.
		There was much to divide these artists as every one of them had arrived at his own idiom, immediately recognisable, even from a distance.

		Inspired by Ionesco’s observations on the power of language, Lenica created this animated allegory about a man whose life is altered when his apartment is invaded by a giant letter "A."
		Jannings was cast as a respected, middle-aged school teacher who succumbs to the charms of Lola, a cabaret singer played by the then-unknown Dietrich.
		Her unforgettable performance in revealing costume—feather boa, top hat, and fl stockings—and her smoky incantation of "Falling in Love Again" created a new type of screen femme fatale and set both actress and director on a course that would lead to the most visually arresting and narratively seductive films made in Hollywood in the thirties.
