This dazzling Polish poster for The Great Gatsby reimagines F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age drama through the surreal, stylized lens of the Polish School of Posters. Designed in 1975 by the acclaimed Jerzy Flisak, the poster trades literal storytelling for metaphor and visual wit. A cartoonish golfer, clad in a zigzag sweater and wide-legged pants, dominates the composition, his stance framing the flapper-like head of Daisy below, rendered like a decorative doll of a ball.
This design accompanied the Polish release of Jack Clayton’s 1974 American film adaptation starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. Rather than leaning into period realism, Flisak injects the image with playful absurdity, using bold colors, exaggerated proportions, and Art Deco-inspired accents to suggest the glamour and emptiness of Gatsby’s world. It’s less about the plot and more about mood: materialism, illusion, and the performative charm of the wealthy.
As a key figure in the Polish School, Flisak was known for blending satire with childlike forms and bright palettes. Here, he distills Gatsby into a punchy, symbolic image that stands apart from its Hollywood source. Like much of the era’s Polish poster art, it transforms commercial film promotion into something far more imaginative and artist-driven. Size: 32.0" x 23.0"
