The original ‘Circus – Lion’ poster by Tadeusz Jodłowski, published in Poland in 1971, is a distinctive example of the Polish School of Poster Art from the 1970s. Executed in a mid-century modern style with pop-art elements, the B1 format (70 × 100 cm) features a stylized lion’s head with exaggerated, expressive features, set against a saturated, warm orange background. Cool shades of purple, blue, and green dominate the face, contrasted by a dynamic black mane and lively, white whiskers. Above the lion, a mosaic of letters spelling ‘CYRK’ and simplified figures of acrobats and clowns—rendered in geometric blocks of red, green, blue, yellow, and white—create a playful, floating cloud. The poster is offset printed with the matte finish typical of the era. The paper is in excellent condition: smooth, unblemished, with vivid, unfaded colors and sharp, clean edges. There are no visible marks of restoration or damage.This composition embodies the joyful pulse of the 1970s: the poster seems to recount a time when applied art embraced freedom and irony. Jodłowski’s lion is no threat—it is a playful master of ceremonies whose gaze leads the viewer into a circus world where colors and forms dance freely above the crowd. The colorful mosaic above the lion recalls the atmosphere of a spectacle where reality gives way to imagination, and every gesture or figure is an invitation to playful experimentation.This poster can be a focal point in a modern living room,
