About Mucha

Maria (Mucha) Ihnatowicz studied under Henryk Tomaszewski at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, graduating in 1963. She produced dozens of posters over the next two decades and also designed book covers. She has a magical, joyful, painterly style. We absolutely love her.

About Maria ‘Mucha’ Ihnatowicz

Mucha, as she is shown, was born in 1937 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw where she studied under professor Henryk Tomaszewski - one of the founding fathers of the Polish School of Posters. She graduated in 1963, the same year she married fellow artist Andrzej Krajewski. She specialised in graphics and mainly worked designed book covers and posters. Whilst she and Andrzej were a couple they sometimes designed pieces together. She has won many awards. We love her for her instantly recognisable bold, expressive painterly style and the most beautiful use of colour.

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.
