Edited by Maria Kurpik, Agata Szydlowska

A profusely illustrated history of the incredible phenomenon of Polish poster art. Printed by the Polish Poster Museum at Wilanow with bilingual text in Polish as well as English. From surreal interpretations of international cinema to tourism, sports, advertising and politics, Polish poster art is singularly fantastic from several standpoints.

in the world of performance art signage and posters. Promotional movie, theater and musical artwork in Poland is well-known for its drastic departure from western-style posters. Artists such as Wiktor Gorka, Leszek Kebrowski, Waldemar Swierzy, Andrzej Pagowski, Jakub Erol, Michal Ksiazek, Miroslaw Lakomski, Wieslaw Walkuski, Eryk Lipinski, Marek Mosinski, Jan Lenica and many others adopted a signature surrealistic style in their executions that is far removed from what we know in the West. It is decidedly artist-centered rather than constrained by the dictates of movie studios. Beginning with Polish graphic art pioneers such as Tadeusz Gronowski and later Jerzy Flisak, these mavericks created works that are striking, shocking and often baffling to the casual observer. This book covers it all!
