Plakat Secesyjny 1971 Art Nouveau Polish Poster Museum poster, Hubert Hilscher
About the Item
Another of our favourite new additions, the simply sensational original Plakat Secesyjny/Art Nouveau Polish Poster Museum exhibition poster from 1971. Polish School of Posters master Hubert Hilscher ethereal peacock design is remarkable.
Designed to advertise the exhibition that ran Sept-Nov in 1971 at the Poster Museum in Wilanow in Warsaw. The world’s oldest poster museum, which was founded in 1968, is housed at the Wilanow Palace complex in Warsaw, Poland.
The end of the Second World War marked the dawn of a new period in the development of Polish poster art, which became known as the Polish School of Posters. The recently installed Communist regime began commissioning artists to design posters not only with social and political messages, but also, and more prominently, to promote the many aspects of the government-run (Ministry of Art and Culture) cultural media: concerts, exhibitions, film, jazz, opera, theatre, etc. and the circus (cyrk in Polish). The artists were instructed to reject Western values in their posters and were to follow rules about appropriate messaging, but other than that, they had complete artistic freedom. This resulted in some truly unique and bold designs, chock-full with individual personality, wit and subversive commentary. Heavy in metaphors and symbolism and executed in a painterly fashion with handcrafted typography the posters of the Polish School of Posters significantly influenced the international development of graphic design. The highly original designs remain contemporary to this day and continue to gain appreciation.

- Cyrk Lion Acrobat R1978 Polish Circus Poster, HilscherLocated in Bath, SomersetThe wonderful original stripy lion Polish Cyrk (circus) poster from 1978. Super cool and colourful design by Hilscher. 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. Hilscher's design was first printed in 1970, this vintage poster is from its official third print in 1978...Category
