Poster art by Wiktor Gorka (1922 - 2004). Born in Komorowice, Poland, Górka obtained a degree in graphic design from the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków in 1952 where he was under the supervision of Jerzy Karolak. He was a co-founder of the so-called Polish School of Posters, whose most important principles were: simplicity and clarity, the use of concise symbols and poetic metaphors, as well as diverse means of expression. Between the 50s and the 80s Wiktor Górka worked with the biggest Polish publishers and film distributors. He designed posters (amounting to nearly 300), book and magazine covers, commercial logos and prints.

The poster is in very good folded condition with a small tear across the horizontal fold and a surface crease. The poster has been stored flat for several years so will be shipped rolled.
