Wojciech Fangor

Wojciech Fangor was born in 1922 in Warsaw. He was one of the most distinctive painters to emerge from postwar Poland and a key founder of the Polish School of Posters.

An accomplished painter, graphic designer, poster artist, and sculptor, Fangor was a truly unique modernist artist and visionary talent.

He designed hundreds of iconic Polish film posters, developing his own distinct visual grammar which combined photo collage with bold and expressive painterly strokes.

During the second half of the 20th century became a pioneer of op Art and dedicated his career to exploring the emotional effects of colour and form and his work has been exhibited around the world. He continued to make art and in 2014 designed murals for the station walls of the Warsaw Underground. He died in 2015.

BUYING A VINTAGE POSTER

All of our vintage Polish posters are lovingly sourced from Poland and were the original editions commissioned by the Communist State to promote cultural events. Polish posters were printed in strictly limited runs to be displayed in town centres, theatres and cinemas - so any which survive have been lovingly rescued along the way.

For us, nothing comes close to the soulful charm of vintage Polish posters; the colours, the offset lithography, the matt paper. But please note, due to their age, many do bear marks of time.

We always do our best to describe any flaws, but if you have any questions at all about this vintage poster then get in touch and we’ll be happy to send you more info.
