‘The Girl who’s Looking for Happiness’ (Dziewczyna Szuka Szczescia) was designed by Maria Mucha Ihnatowicz for British film ‘Made’ - directed by John Mackenzie and starring Carol White (Cathy Come Home) and musician Roy Harper. This original 1973 vintage Polish poster is an incredibly awesome surreal and joyful vintage film poster bursting with attitude (and boobs!).

About Maria ‘Mucha’ Ihnatowicz

Mucha, as she is shown, was born in 1937 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where she studied under professor Henryk Tomaszewski - one of the founding fathers of the Polish School of Posters. She graduated in 1963, the same year she married fellow artist Andrzej Krajewski. She specialised in graphics and mainly worked designed book covers and posters. Whilst she and Andrzej were a couple they sometimes designed pieces together. She has won many awards. We love her for her instantly recognisable bold, expressive painterly style and the most beautiful use of colour.
