Tuwim often used vernacular language in his work, along with slang as well as poetic dialogue.

His poems celebrated everyday life in the city, with its triviality and vulgarity. It was characterized by an expression of vitality, optimism, in praise of urban life. Initially Tuwim's poetry, even more than that of the other Skamandrites, represented a decisive break with turn-of-the-20th-century mannerism. In 1905 the family had to flee from Łódź to Wrocław (Breslau) in order to escape possible repercussions following Izydor's involvement in the Revolution of 1905. He was not a particularly diligent student and had to repeat the sixth grade. His parents, Izydor and Adela, provided Julian with a comfortable middle class upbringing. The surname comes from the Hebrew tovim ( טובים‎) meaning 'good ones'. Tuwim was born into a family of assimilated Jews. He was a recipient of the prestigious Golden Laurel of the Polish Academy of Literature in 1935.

He was a major figure in Polish literature, admired also for his contribution to children's literature. After Poland's return to independence in 1918, Tuwim co-founded the Skamander group of experimental poets with Antoni Słonimski and Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz. He was educated in Łódź and in Warsaw where he studied law and philosophy at Warsaw University. Julian Tuwim (13 September 1894 – 27 December 1953), known also under the pseudonym 'Oldlen' as a lyricist, was a Polish poet, born in Łódź, then part of the Russian Partition.
