This very special original 1984 Polish poster by Mieczyslaw Wasilewski was designed for a 1978 Turkish/Soviet Union film ‘The Legend of Love’ (Legenda o Milosci). We are big fans of Wasilewski’s stripped back illustrative minimalism. There’s always more to see than first meets the eye. Can you spot the second face?

You can read a beautiful interview with Wasilewski here (he’s a big fan of Banksy!)

“Today, especially in the times of image-dependent civilization, 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”
