Posters from past

What: Since the late 19th to the early 20th century, poster designs were recognised in the Polish artistic tradition as a source of national pride. It was considered a driving force of artistic progress as it brought together architecture, painting and sculpture with artistic design. Bringing together such archival posters from the collection of the Poster Museum at Willanow, here is an exhibition titled Between Art Deco and Modernism  — Polish Posters from 1918 – 1939. It was precisely the ability to blend both the new and the existing designs that brought Polish artists to a level of international recognition for their modern stylisation and interpretation of folklore. The two distinct approaches  — traditionalism and modernism — complemented each other and were often combined in a manner that allowed for individual expression. It was this harmonious synthesis that best-defined Polish poster art in the period between the wars.
