I became interested in Polish Poster Art when i found a smallish yet thick book of poster in the library on the subject. The book has since disappeared from the library, probably on account of a student, not unlike myself, that enjoys absorbing interesting books at high costs from public libraries. A personal habit I have since broken. Poland was at the crux of both World Wars, but poster art began in the 1910's. I see the art as having a human element first and foremost, and also being textural like Dada and minimal and organized like constructivism. The art was very important in cultural identity and also in opportunity for artists. Polish poster art by nature is very graphically based. You can see in this example [link] a common typeface that morphs in and around many posters of this type. Here are some examples taken from Deviant art or artists who used similar styles or were influenced (some to the point of imitation) by polish poster artists.

This was originally conceived by Tadeusz Trepkowski(d)
