Adolf Born was a draftsman, graphic artist, and illustrator from the Czech Republic. Born is known for his quirky characters, bizarreness, and humor, and is considered one of the most original and distinctive artists of the 20th century.

He studied at The Faculty of Education - Charles University in Prague and was a disciple of Prof. A. Pelc at The Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.

Adolf Born, a master of illustration and extraordinary imagination, imprinted his unmistakable poetics on every work regardless of its purpose. His work, capable of living its own life even without the support of a text, is characterized by charismatic self-irony, fresh humor and ambivalent moods.
