Jan Mlodozeniec
1929 - 2000
Jan Mlodozeniec was one of the most outstanding artists from 20th century Poland. He was born in Warsaw on November 8th 1929 to a well-to-do peasant family. They were all creative; his dad Stanislaw was a poet and founder of Polish futurism, his mum Wanda was an artist and his own son Piotr is now an accomplished graphic artist.
Jan Mlodozeniec decided to apply to art school on a bit of a whim after serving in the army during the war. He studied under the great master Prof. Henryk Tomaszewski and became one of the most prominent members of the Polish School of Posters.
Mlodozeniec’s painterly style is very distinct; characterised by naive childlike forms, bold lines, strong colour and a sense of humour. He said “I like colour in itself. I see its meaning in the colourful existence against the backdrop of a grey street. I never think twice about using six colours, something that from the point of view of poster canons (sparing means of expression) lowers its value in the eyes of experts”.
All of Mlodozeniec’s letters are painted by hand. He masterfully integrates the typography with the illustrative elements so that they intertwine with each other and work together as one.
Jan Mlodozeniec was very meticulous when designing his posters. He would often create hundreds of iterations for one piece - all in real scale on cardboard (until that became too expensive), and with just tiny changes in each version.
Jan Mlodozeniec was warm, joyful and generous. These qualities shine through in his work and it’s one of the reasons we love him so much.
Over his lifetime he created more than 400 Polish posters; including a wonderful selection of opera posters, theatre posters, film posters, a series of posters for folk shop Cepelia and Polish tourist poster. Alongside this work, he produced numerous book covers, illustrations, and drawings.
Mlodozeniec won many awards for his posters which were exhibited in over 40 solo shows around the world. Jan Mlodozeniec posters are now held in private collections and iconic museums including The Stedeliijk in Amsterdam, Kunstblibliothek in Berlin and the Museum of Modern Art in Toyama.

We have got ALL the good feels for this fantastic vintage Polish poster by Jan Mlodozeniec in 1974. It’s in perfect condition, as if fresh off the printing press, due to finding it in a collection which had been rescued from a print works. It was designed for an Italian film ‘Peppino Podbija Ameryke’ (L’emigrante). It was internationally released as ‘Little Funny Guy’. It’s not unusual for the title on a Polish poster to bear little resemblance to the original - it’s as if it’s gone through a round of Chinese whispers!

Jan Mlodozeniec was warm, joyful and generous. These qualities shine through in his work and it’s one of the reasons we love him so much.
Over his lifetime he created more than 400 Polish posters; including a wonderful selection of opera posters, theatre posters, film posters, a series of posters for folk shop Cepelia and Polish tourist poster. Alongside this work, he produced numerous book covers, illustrations, and drawings.
Mlodozeniec won many awards for his posters which were exhibited in over 40 solo shows around the world. Jan Mlodozeniec posters are now held in private collections and iconic museums including The Stedeliijk in Amsterdam, Kunstblibliothek in Berlin and the Museum of Modern Art in Toyama.
This is an absolutely incredible Jan Mlodozeniec poster design. It’s an original vintage theatre poster for a production of Beethoven’s Sonata Belzebuba at the Teatr Atheneum in Warsaw from 1969 and is in such beautiful condition. The bold colours, the matte paper and the offset lithography = pretty close to Polish poster perfection! It had a very small print run of only 1000 which makes this extra special.

Jan Mlodozeniec
Jan Mlodozeniec was one of the most outstanding artists from 20th century Poland. He was born in Warsaw on November 8th 1929 to a well-to-do peasant family. They were all creative; his dad Stanislaw was a poet and founder of Polish futurism, his mum Wanda was an artist and his own son Piotr is now an accomplished graphic artist.
Jan Mlodozeniec decided to apply to art school on a bit of a whim after serving in the army during the war. He studied under the great master Prof. Henryk Tomaszewski and became one of the most prominent members of the Polish School of Posters.
Mlodozeniec’s painterly style is very distinct; characterised by naive childlike forms, bold lines, strong colour and a sense of humour. He said “I like colour in itself. I see its meaning in the colourful existence against the backdrop of a grey street. I never think twice about using six colours, something that from the point of view of poster canons (sparing means of expression) lowers its value in the eyes of experts”.
All of Mlodozeniec’s letters are painted by hand. He masterfully integrates the typography with the illustrative elements so that they intertwine with each other and work together as one.
Jan Mlodozeniec was very meticulous when designing his posters. He would often create hundreds of iterations for one piece - all in real scale on cardboard (until that became too expensive), and with just tiny changes in each version.

It’s impossible to convey on screen just how incredible this original 1970 Polish poster by Jan Mlodozeniec ‘Wszystko w Ogrodzie’ (Everything in the Garden) is in real life. The colours are so vivid and the offset printing so beautiful, it took our breath away when we first saw it. It’s one of our favourite designs by an artist we are already crazy about, and this copy is in almost perfect condition. Mlodozeniec designed it for the Ateneum theatre production of Wszystko w Ogrodzie (Everything in the Garden) by British playwright Edward Albee.
