About the Polish School of Posters:The world-renowned Polish School of Posters is widely recognized as the best in contemporary poster art comparable to La Belle Époque (ca1890s) French posters. The Polish School of Posters combines the aesthetics of painting with the succinctness and simple metaphor of the poster. Since its beginning in the early 1950s it has developed characteristics such as painterly gesture, linear quality, and vibrant colors, as well as a sense of individual personality, humor, and fantasy. That way, the Polish poster was able to make the distinction between designer and artist less apparent. Posters of the Polish Poster School significantly influenced the international development of graphic design in poster art. Their major contribution is in their use of the power of suggestion through clever allusions. Using strong and vivid colors from folk art, they combine printed slogans, often hand-lettered, with popular symbols, to create a concise inventive metaphor. As a hybrid of words and images, these posters created a certain aesthetic tension. In addition to aesthetic aspects, Polish School posters are able to reveal the artist's emotional involvement with the subject. They do not solely exist as an objective presentation, rather they are also the artist's interpretation and commentary on the subject and on society.
