These posters represent the oft-referenced Polish School of Posters, combining the aesthetics of painting with the succinctness of simple metaphor and the graceful art of political, social and cultural allusion. The works epitomize the characteristics of painterly gesture, linear quality, and vibrant colors, reflecting a sense of individual personality, humor, and fantasy. These are the elements that distinguish the Polish poster, and the striking amalgamation between designer and artist. Posters of the Polish Poster School represent a significant influence in the international development of graphic design on poster art throughout the world.
