Plakaty = Posters

Was told once (by a Polish friend) that there's a wonderful festival re art posters in Poland (is it always in Warsaw? and is it only every few years?). I still haven't been, but perhaps one day I'll get there. A few years back that same friend gave me a wonderful book titled Plakaty with many fantastic examples of posters created by Polish artists. Most or all of the posters are pre-2000. I'm posting only 10.                                                        

A Few Posters

Not a whole lot else to post so I'll post a few posters. Have collected many over the years (primarily to hang up in the classroom); these I hung up in my house (thus the imperfect lighting, angle, etc.). One is from my wife's hometown in Poland (if I get more time I'll do a separate post on Polish posters); another I picked up at an exhibit on Russian icons in Hamburg, Germany (I believe that's Saint George the dragon slayer); and the third I got at the Otto Modersohn Museum in Fischerude, Germany.
