The gallery of the poster is the street - this concise sentence of Henryk Tomaszewski fully reflects the phenomenon of the Polish Poster. In the grey reality of post-war Poland, unusual posters appeared on the rebuilding streets. They were rich in artistic expression, symbols and metaphors, unusual forms and colors. The poster created by outstanding artists became a form of art and the street became its salon. In 1960-ties it was named the 'Polish School of Posters' in recognition of its uniqueness and innovations. The poster created by Polish artists to this day is diverse, attracts outstanding individuals, takes different shapes and still looks for new forms of expression.
