The art of the Polish poster is perhaps the field of Polish art which is the most well-known and the best-loved in Western Europe. It was one of the fields of Polish cultural life which – along with cinema – managed to cut through the iron curtain and take root in the minds of a Western public. ‘The Polish Poster School’ has, through force of circumstance, become one of the very few Polish ‘brands’ which are present in Western cultural life.
The works which are on show during the exhibition ‘Enfant terrible. La nouvelle affiche polonaise’ are the result of an artistic selection process of several dozen posters recently created by Polish graphic artists of a certain age as well as those from the up-and-coming generation.
