The original circus poster 'Cyrk żongler' by Maciej Urbaniec, created in 1973, represents a mature phase of the Polish Poster School. The composition is dominated by a saturated yellow, creating a luminous, sunlit background. The central figure—a juggler depicted from the waist up with a thin mustache and delicate features—is rendered in warm browns and ochres, with a soft, almost sfumato contour. Above his hands hover three large circles, each with a hypnotic, concentric pattern in white, orange, pink, and green; their glossy, graphic finish contrasts with the matte painterly surface of the background. In the upper right, the vertical 'CYRK' inscription draws the eye with a painterly texture in browns and greens. The poster is printed on smooth, matte paper and signed vertically 'URBANIEC' along the right edge at the juggler’s shoulder height. Preserved in excellent condition, it shows no signs of wear, creasing, or discoloration.This poster tells its own poetic story of the 1970s. Urbaniec moves away from literalism, embracing visual metaphor: the juggler becomes a figure balancing between dream and reality, a master of movement and time, while the optical circles evoke the spirit of op-art and the graphic experimentation of the decade. Here, light, color, and geometric discipline meet a dreamlike softness, and the nostalgia for classic circus is filtered through a modern, minimalist lens.The poster can be displayed in a simple dark wood or brass frame to highlight the composition’s warm, earthy tones.
