THE DAUGHTER OF CZESLAW SLANIA (THE MOST SOLD ARTIST OF ALL-TIME) SPEAKS PUBLICLY ABOUT HER FATHER

In this video, Liv Slania, daughter of Czeslaw Slania speaks out for the first time about her father.
October 22nd 2021 marks an important day for philately enthusiasts: the 100th birthday anniversary of Czesław Słania, the world’s most esteemed and prolific stamp engraver.
Throughout his 55 year career, Czesław made over 1000 stamps for 32 countries and 30 multiple-denomination banknotes for 10 countries. He also completed many private projects and designs of high profile figures including John F Kennedy, Elvis Presley, Queen Elizabeth II, Marilyn Monroe, Richard Nixon, Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali), and Winston Churchill.
Because of this year’s 100th birthday anniversary, the interest to know more about Czesław the man has been gradually rising. Although always very private about her father, on this occasion daughter Liv agreed to record an informal Q&A with me via webcam to tell us what he was like as a parent, and discuss the folder she created with Swedish illustrator and designer Arvid Steen, best known for his work as Animation Director for the Academy Award-winning documentary ‘Searching For Sugarman’.

Dziękuję, pięknie opowiedziana historia.

What a lovely video. I had the pleasure of meeting Czeslaw on three occasions in London, in San Francisco and in Toronto and he reminded me of a grandfather-like figure; a caring man who laughed readily and possessed so much talent. To hear from his daughter on the occasion of the centenary of his birth was really special, as for the first time we get to learn about the man behind the burin. Thank you for sharing.

Chciałem powiedzieć że po tymże wywiadzie obejrzałem również film "Czesław Słania 1994 Jelenia Góra" i musze powiedzieć że Pan Czeslaw wydawał się być takim właśnie skromnym człowiekiem jak jego córka go właśnie opisała.R.I.P
