Cyrk Drumming Poodle and Parrot c1965 Polish Circus Poster, Baczewska

About the Item

We love Liliana Baczewska's design of a very talented drumming and parrot balancing poodle that features on this first edition Polish Cyrk/Circus poster. The poodle looks, suitably, very pleased with themselves! The ‘Cyrk” circus poster in Poland appeared for the first time in 1962 when the ZPR (Zjednoczone Przedsiebiorstwa Rozrywkowe, or United Entertainment Entreprises), 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 first edition vintage poster is sized 25 7/8 x 38 1/4 inches and in Rolled Excellent Condition. It will be sent rolled (unframed).
