In 1949, his interest in printmaking led him to attend the State Academic School of Plastic Arts, where he studied under the tutelage of Tadeusz Kulisiewicz. The school merged with the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw in 1950. He graduated in 1955.

Despite being ever humble about his work, Hubert Hilscher was a highly influential and internationally acclaimed poster artist from the Polish School of Posters and one of the key founders of the Poster Biennale. He was also the creative driving force behind Projekt magazine, where he was art director for 22 years, and an award winning book designer. We adore his thoughtfulness and the balance and structure he brought to his work.
