View all Artists- Biography: Pupils of the eminent Polish weaver Eleanora Plutynska, Stefan Galkowski (1912-1984) and his wife Helena (1911-1992) were talented young graduates of the Fine Arts Academy in Warsaw. They started making tapestries in secret during the Nazi occupation of World War II, when private weaving was strictly prohibited because wool was required for the German army. In the post war years they became joint directors of the newly created State Textile Institute Wanda which attempted to revive the old Polish crafts.
