This is a wow vintage Polish poster as far as we’re concerned. It helps that it was designed by the utterly wonderful human that is Mieczyslaw Wasilewski, but gosh it’s sublime. Wasilewski designed it in 1977 for the Polish cinema release of French film ‘L'education amoureuse de Valentin’ (Milosna Edukacja Walentego/Valentine’s Love Education).

About Mieczyslaw Wasilewski

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 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”
