The “Cyrk – Lion” poster by Hubert Hilscher is an official, limited reissue of the original 1970 design, published in an edition of 500 in the authentic B1 format (98.4 × 67.8 cm). Produced using offset printing on premium paper, the surface is perfectly smooth and matte, supporting the intense multicolour palette. The central motif is a stylized circus lion set against a yellow-green background, framed by a vivid red border. The composition is constructed from flowing, undulating stripes of the mane and sharply defined black outlines. Hues include electric blue, turquoise, teal, magenta, violet, amethyst, orange, scarlet, as well as crisp blacks and whites—reflecting the visual language of the Polish poster school. The bold black “CYRK” logotype anchors the design in the lower right corner. Hilscher’s work strikes a balance between modern graphic clarity and playful abstraction—its rhythmically exaggerated lion, bold contrasts, and whimsical distortion create a sense of freedom and artistic whimsy. The expanded mane gives the impression of a swirling cape, while the curling tail and direct gaze inject a note of irony and emotion. The viewer’s attention is guided from the dynamic silhouette through the patterns of the mane and face, suggesting a psychedelic narrative deeply rooted in mid-century modern sensibility. This poster is particularly suited to expansive, light-filled walls, whether in a living room, studio, or gallery. It may be featured as a solitary focal point or incorporated into an arrangement with other works in vivid colours or graphic typography.
