The original 1973 poster “Circus – Horse with a Flower” by Jerzy Czerniawski is an emblematic example of the Polish Poster School of the 1970s. Printed in offset technique in A1 format, the composition features a stylized horse’s bust rendered in warm pastel orange with gentle tonal transitions and soft, velvet-like shading. The horse’s mane and face are subtly modeled in lighter and darker tones of orange and beige, giving the figure a luminous, almost glowing character. A deep, matte black background creates a sharp contrast, making the horse appear to radiate from the paper. The animal holds a small red-pink flower with green leaves in its mouth, while above its head floats a pastel, cloud-like gradient shape in yellow, green, and blue. On the left, a vertical “CYRK” inscription in a rainbow gradient uses simple, geometric sans-serif lettering, characteristic of Czerniawski’s style. The poster is minimalist yet expressive, with rounded, exaggerated shapes and a dreamlike, childlike quality. It is preserved in excellent condition, with a smooth, matte surface free from damage or discoloration.This design speaks with the voice of 1970s Polish graphics, when artists sought metaphor and gentle humor in everyday themes. The horse—its form softly caricatured—seems to smile, holding a flower as a subtle nod to the circus through a child’s eyes. The color palette evokes the mood of a cheerful afternoon under the big top, as stage lights gently shape the scene. Czerniawski’s reduction of form and restrained expression create a visual
