About the Item

Wonderfully whimiscal design, typical of the artist Danuta Zukowsaka, features on this original first edition Polish cyrk (circus) poster. Zukowsaka, one of the few female artists in the male-dominated Polish School of Posters, never fails to delivery on style and originality. 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 original vintage movie poster has been professionally linen-backed is sized 26 1/2 x 38 1/4 inches (plus a little more with the linen). It will be sent rolled (unframed).
