About Mieczysław Wasilewski

Wasilewski was born on New Year’s Day in Warsaw, 1942. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, under one of the ‘fathers’ of the Polish School of Posters - professor Henryk Tomaszewski. As well as working as a prolific designer he also works as a professor in Graphic Design across the world. He’s received numerous prestigious awards in the field of poster design and editorial graphics.

You can read a beautiful interview with Wasilewski here (he’s a big fan of Banksy!)

“Today, especially in the times of image-dependent civilisation, these short, concise visual statements are even more meaningful than before. Today, when we are flooded with visual blabber, it is poster with capital P, I think, that should be the positive carrier of all positive ideas”

BUYING A VINTAGE POSTER

All of our vintage Polish posters are lovingly sourced from Poland and were the original editions commissioned by the Communist State to promote cultural events. Polish posters were printed in strictly limited runs to be displayed in town centres, theatres and cinemas - so any which survive have been lovingly rescued along the way.

For us, nothing comes close to the soulful charm of vintage Polish posters; the colours, the offset lithography, the matt paper. But please note, due to their age, many do bear marks of time.

We always do our best to describe any flaws, but if you have any questions at all about this vintage poster then get in touch and we’ll be happy to send you more info.
