Exhibition of Polish posters of the 19th-20th centuries has been opened in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow.
The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts has the most considerable collection of the Polish poster in Russia, including works of the 1950s and 1960s - the period of blossoming of Polish graphic design.
More than 100 posters created in the late 19th -early 20th centuries will be presented at the exhibition. Old posters of Krakow, Lvov and Warsaw fancifully combining lyricism and melancholy with bitter irony and satire, perfectly reflect the spirit of that epoch and are a unique source of information on history, life and cultural life of the Polish people at the boundary of the 19th and 20th centuries for modern Russian spectators.
The exhibition runs till February, 26th.
