Ah! Film Posters in Poland [English Edition]

This book examines the history of the film poster in Poland. Dorota Folga-Januszewska's story of this intriguing corner of the art world is illustrated with nearly 540 reproductions of posters not infrequently inspired by painting, graphic design and film art. From the earliest moving pictures, through the avant-garde and psychoanalytic theories of the interbellum, to the birth of the Polish poster school, and into the present day, we see how the worlds of film, reality and the imagination of the artists are reflected in the film poster. The artists featured in this volume include: Andrzej Klimowski, Jan Lenica, Lech Majewski, Jan Mlodozeniec, Franciszek Starowieyski, Andrzej Pagowski, Waldemar Swierzy, Stasys Eidrigevicius. Graphic design by Lech Majewski.
