Polish, Cyrk/Circus Poster, 1970, Vintage, Bear Riding Penny Farthing, Srokowski
About the Item
We love this original Polish CYRK (circus) poster from 1970 with a lovely design by Jerzy Srokowski of a bear on a Penny Farthing bicycle.
The ‘Cyrk” circus poster in Poland appeared for the first time in 1962 when the ZPR (Zjednoczone Przedsiębiorstwa Rozrywkowe, or United Entertainment Enterprises), the state agency that oversaw the circus, commissioned leading artists from the Polish School of Posters to develop a modern approach to the circus poster.
The ZPR wanted a new look for the circus poster to complement the circus’ efforts to upgrade its image. Not intended to advertise specific performances, they, rather, celebrated the essence of the circus through rich artistic expression with designs typically featuring clever metaphors, bold colours and humour. Heavy in symbolism, provocative and highly original the designs remain contemporary to this day and continue to gain appreciation.
This vintage poster from its very first print run and is sized 26 7/8 x 38 3/8 inches (27 7/8 x 39 3/8 inches including the linen-backing). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
