“This gallery mostly consists of Polish posters designed since 1940 (with the exception of some posters by Czech and Cuban designers as well as US born, Saul Bass). This is a favorite design era of ours and we wanted to share these great works. There are over a 200 posters so it may take a little bit to load all of them on slower connections. Enjoy the inspiration.”

KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE

Killing of a  Chinese Bookie, 1976

“The first Polish posters appeared in the 1890’s at the hand of outstanding painters like Jozef Mehoffer, Stanislaw Wyspianski, Karol Frycz, Kazimierz Sichulski and Wojciech Weiss. Influenced by the Jugendstil and the Secessionist movements, understandably they painted posters that were art-related, announcing exhibitions, theater and ballet performances. Their work was vastly popular, which led to the first International Exposition of the Poster being held in Krakow in 1898.”

Spanish designer Oscar Diaz has designed a calendar that uses the capillary action of ink spreading across paper to display the date. It uses capillary action to suck ink across the numbers embossed on the page, one day at a time, gradually coloring itself in over the month.
