Waldemar Swarzy - Cyrk Ringmaster Horse

Original vintage poster from 1970, depicting a tamer with a horse head, part of a series drawn by the legendary Polish artist Waldemar Swierzy to promote the Warsaw Municipal Circus. Swierzy's circus and zoo posters have become iconic mid-century graphic design examples, even though these were original editions commissioned by the communist state to promote cultural events, being the only outlet for expression for artists of the era, a sublime protest against the regime. Printed in a hands-on, artisanal way, the color tone often varied in intensity. This poster comes from a small Venice gallery, “Centro Posters and Gadgets,” closed in 1971, which mainly dealt with posters, for pop art. Conditions: excellent, near mint condition. As a professional seller, I issue with the work an invoice and a regular certificate of authenticity and provenance.
