Jerzy Flisak was one of the central figures of the Polish School of Posters, a movement that flourished from the 1950s through the 1980s when state-controlled cultural institutions commissioned artists to interpret films and theater productions with genuine creative freedom. Flisak's work is recognizable for its bold graphic economy and dry wit, often bending a subject toward the surreal rather than illustrating it literally. The period originals shown here come from that tradition.
