Jerzy Zitzman

Jerzy Zitzman is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Jerzy Zitzman made prints that capture the quirky side of British street theater. In the 1960s he turned George Speaight’s Punch & Judy collection into lively black-and-white images, freezing the wooden puppets’ wild swings and grins on paper. The prints feel like snapshots from a carnival backstage, crowded, a little messy, full of character.
