Career His début as a graphic artist was in the columns of the satirical review, Szpilki in 1936. He contributed illustrations to such publications as Dziennik Ludowy, Nowe Życie, Sygnały, Tygodnik Robotnika, and after the war to Polityka and Trybuna Ludu. As an artist, he worked in thematic periods. His earliest such period of drawings took the title, War (1931–1932), followed by a series called Miasto, 'the City' (1931–1935). He was a friend of Stanisław Witkiewicz with whom he made a trip to Silesia. The result was a series of 30 drawings under the heading of Śląsk. In May 1938 an exhibition of these latest works in the Instytut Propagandy Sztuki (Institute for the Propagation of Art) was shut down on account of its potentially 'pernicious social effects'. After the outbreak of World War II, he was forced to flee with his wife and they went to Lwów, for fear of Nazi reprisals for his cartoons of Adolf Hitler that had appeared in the press.

His work assessed Linke's creativity is often characterized as metaphorical realism. His art is based on visualisations, as it were depictions of literary metaphor. Both the composition of individual works and the structure of his series rest on an evident narrative approach. Most of his work is on paper with the use of Water colour, Gouache, Crayon, pencil or Indian ink. He often scraped the surface of the paper and applied Collage. One of his most famous and late works is the Bus, a palpable reference to Stanisław Wyspiański's play, Wesele, The Wedding. As in the drama, so the figures on the Bus can be seen as slaves who stand in the way of their own liberation. A song, Czerwony autobus was inspired by the painting. In 1981 the poet Jacek Kaczmarski was further inspired by the same painting to write a poem Kanapka z człowiekiem. Another noted Linke work is "Modlitwa zamordowanych”, Prayer of the Murdered from 1942. In 1991 Grzegorz Dubowski directed a documentary film entitled, Bronisława Linkego opisywanie świata, 'The World as described by Bronisław Linke'.
