Franciszka Themerson was born in Warsaw in 1907. She lived in Paris 1938–40, and from 1940 in London until her death in 1988. She was principally a painter, designed and illustrated books and designed for the theatre. She was born, as her parents said, with a pencil in her hand, and drawing throughout her life was at the heart of her work. She collaborated with her husband, the writer Stefan Themerson, on experimental films, illustrated books for children which he wrote, and in 1948 founded with him the avant-garde publishing company Gaberbocchus Press, of which she was the art director.
