Abstract

The 1950's is the period of great misfortune for Poland yet it also is a pepiod of great importance in the history of Polish poster art. Starting from the end of the 40's to the beginning of the 50's, designers began to abandon the dogma of socialist realism, and to aim, instead, to establish new design forms in poster art, based on their individual design philosophies. Their unending quests for new media and new methods of expression enabled them to transcend the confines of practical utility and mere message conveyance, thus giving their works in this period a universal broadness marked by a greater humanitarian perspective. As a result, the Polish people began to recognize the poster medium not as a product of applied art but as an expression of artistic creativity. Polish poster art, therefore, has achieved public acceptance as a communicative media of cultural, ideological and artistic meaning. I think that I have shown the characteristics of Posish poster art by the thorough comparison of the two unique artista, Jan Mlodozeniec and Mieczyslaw Gorowski. In short, Polish poster art can be characterized as an amalgam of the grotesque, folk arts, and humanism.
