Gronowski was an early influential Polish graphic designer who studied in both his native country and France. In Paris, he was influenced by Cubism and the work of A.M. Cassandre, specifically his mastery of the airbrush. For the Gordon Bennett Challenge, the world's largest and most prestigious gas balloon competition, Gronowski delivers a sophisticated layout, well-organized typography and masterful use of the airbrush.
