ABOUT PRODUCTID 10180
This framed collage announcing the upcoming issue of the magazine "Ty i Ja" from 1961 stands as an example of Polish graphic design from the 1960s. The work is presented in a simple, matte black frame measuring 30 × 40 cm. The composition is executed on smooth paper, with a dominant warm, slightly yellowed off-white background—a result of the natural aging of the material. The collage features hand-drawn portraits, a cherub, a vintage car, a bicycle, a cat, and other whimsical motifs. Typographic elements in black, red, and green appear in various fonts and sizes, creating an irregular and dynamic arrangement. The color accents give rhythm to the composition and highlight selected fragments of text. The surface is smooth, with no visible textures or reliefs. Both the frame and the collage are in very good condition, with no discoloration, damage, or evidence of prior restoration.This piece embodies the voice of 1960s Polish modernist graphics, which played with form and typography while retaining a sense of lightness. The collage seems to tell a story of times when illustration and print converged in editorial studios, and each magazine issue heralded a new visual adventure. The humorous motifs reflect a playful approach to everyday life, while the irregular arrangement of text and images evokes the creative freedom and experimentation so characteristic of Polish graphic projects of that era.Such a collage can be placed in a living room, study, or home library, where it will highlight the spirit of Polish modernism. It pairs well with minimalist furniture and a light or grey wall. It may be combined with other graphics from the 1960s or contemporary ceramics to create a relaxed gallery effect. In eclectic, collector's interiors it will introduce an energetic accent, while in modernist arrangements, it will emphasize graphic clarity.
