Historical Context:
"Polish Poster Art has a tradition which is over a hundred years old. There are many interesting works which were created between the late 1890's and the outbreak of World War II, but the most significant achievements of what became known as the 'Polish Poster School' were created in the period spanning the fifties and sixties. The artists who make up the 'Polish Poster School' did not share a specific stylist approach but rather an emotional engagement in the development of poster design. They search for new artistic meanings, a more personal way of expressing subject matter..." -Piotr Dabrowski
