This original 1973 Polish poster by Mieczyslaw Wasilewski is interesting as it’s very different from his usual painterly and minimalist monochrome style. He designed it for an Italian film of the same name directed by Pietro Germi.

Condition: This vintage poster is in perfect condition :)

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”
