This original 1989 Polish poster is such a strong minimalist design by legendary artist from the Polish School of Posters Mieczyslaw Wasilewski. We are huge fans of his style and this poster for ‘Hibiscus Town’ (Miasteczko Hibiscus), produced right at the end of the Communist period in Poland, in no exception.
Polish B1 size: 67 x 96 cm
Condition: very good
About Mieczysław Wasilewski
Wasilewski was born on New Year’s Day in Warsaw, 1942. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, under one of the ‘fathers’ of the Polish School of Posters - professor Henryk Tomaszewski. As well as working as a prolific designer he also works as a professor in Graphic Design across the world. He’s received numerous prestigious awards in the field of poster design and editorial graphics.
You can read a beautiful interview with Wasilewski here (he’s a big fan of Banksy!)
“Today, especially in the times of image-dependent civilisation, these short, concise visual statements are even more meaningful than before. Today, when we are flooded with visual blabber, it is poster with capital P, I think, that should be the positive carrier of all positive ideas”
