POLISH GRAPHIC SUPREMACY

In the 1950s and through the 1980s, "The Polish School of Posters" combined the aesthetics of painting with the succinctness and simple metaphor of the poster. Their major contribution is in their use of the power of suggestion through clever allusions. As a hybrid of words and images, these posters created a certain aesthetic tension. In addition to aesthetic aspects, these posters were able to reveal the artist's emotional involvement with the subject. They did not solely exist as an objective presentation, rather they were also the artist's interpretation and commentary on the subject and on society.

THIS ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF THEATER AND OPERA POLISH POSTERS. ENJOY!

WIND MONSTERS!!!

Theo Jansen (in mi opinion our very own modern Einstein) is a Dutch artist engineer, and kinetic sculptor. He builds large works which resemble skeletons of animals that are able to walk using the wind on the beaches of the Netherlands. In other words... he´s sculptures walk alone! HOW IMPRESSIVE IS THAT!
