About The Poster
: Polish posters have come to stand apart from the advertising design conventions fostered in Europe during the 20th century. It was during the communist regime, a time when culture was closely monitored by the state, that Polish artists found liberation in poster art. Ironically, this foremost public artform became ground for individual expression. During that period, the cultural institutions (of theater and cinema especially) flourished as they were funded by government agencies. Artists freshly out of the fine arts academy flocked towards poster production as the demand for this art was rapidly growing. The result became some of the most unique and expressive posters the world has ever seen - and artworks in themselves.
This and other pieces of Polish poster art we will be listing in the near future come from the personal collection of a Polish artist who collected personally and then ultimately opened and ran a small museum dedicated to to Polish graphic arts until it's closing for health reasons.
