Polish School of Posters


Information about the lecture

Author: Sebastian Kubica
Date: 7 December 2019
Place: Mazi Bookstore, Beijing

Polish poster has become part of world art. I am convinced that it was so successful because it was created by artists, not by the so-called designers. Stylistic diversity which comes from their preferences and professional experience used in the design of the poster resulted in the creation of graphically diverse, individualized images using a metaphor. These are unique, timeless messages that not only once adorned the gray streets. Currently they have found their way to excellent galleries around the world where they are shown, sold and very often decorate interiors – says Sebastian Kubica. During the lecture, the author will present the beginning of the trend in designing called the Polish School of Posters and the great characters of its creators: Henryk Tomaszewski, Jan Lenica, Waldemar Świerzy, Roman Cieślewicz and Jan Młodożeniec and their selected works.
