This original 1988 Polish poster was rescued from the printing house after it closed down and it is in perfect condition. This is a great example of Mieczyslaw Wasilewski - free yet minimal black paintbrush strokes and thoughtful type - for the US hit movie ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ (Wielka Draka w Chinskiej Dzielnicy).

Polish B1 size: 66 x 95.5 cm

Condition: this lovely poster has some slight discolouration (visible in the detailed photos).

About Mieczyslaw 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”
