This original circus poster by M. Nowiński from 1985 exemplifies the mature Polish Poster School, blending painterly imagination with surrealist metaphor. The composition centers around a hybrid figure—a human form with a bird's head and elongated orange-red beak, dressed in a navy blue tailcoat, riding a fantastical creature merging the features of a horse and an elephant. The background is a deep, warm brown, while the main figures are rendered in ochre, green, blue, and muted red tones. Details such as the colorful circles in the lower left corner and the thin white line at the bottom edge evoke the circus motifs of balance and juggling. Typography is minimal and hand-stylized: the letters 'CYR' in various colors at the top, with white handwritten exhibition details to the right. The poster is in very good condition, with no visible damage or discoloration, and its matte surface underlines its collectible, artistic character.The poster radiates a dreamy, almost poetic mood. Its surreal juxtaposition of animal and human forms, balanced over a delicate line, becomes a metaphor for the circus as a realm of imagination and risk. The composition seems to whisper of illusion, balance, and fragility—hallmarks of 1980s Polish graphic art. Painterly transitions of color, visible brushwork, and restrained typography create a sense of subtle suggestion, where the circus emerges as a meeting place of fantasy and reality.This piece would suit a living room, study, or library—especially against a light wall in shades of white or sand beige.
