The original 'Cyrk Trapez' poster, designed by Jan Kotarbiński in 1975, is a quintessential example of the Polish School of Poster Art from the 1970s. Printed in offset technique on smooth, matte paper in B1 format (68 × 98 cm), the poster depicts a dynamic circus trapeze scene. The background features a warm gradient of browns—from lighter hues at the top to rich, deep brown at the bottom—creating a vivid stage for the colorful characters and typography. The upper section is dominated by the word 'CYRK', rendered in soft, organic letters, each in a distinct, intense color: red, blue, green, and ochre-brown. The central motif is a trio of trapeze artists: a figure in a purple and white striped costume, a female acrobat in a green leotard captured in a split, and a performer in black and white stripes with a purple bandana. The entire composition is executed in a simplified, graphic style typical of the 1970s. No visible hardware, frame, or additional construction elements are present. The poster is preserved in excellent condition, free from any signs of wear, damage, or restoration.This work resonates with the era’s voice—one that valued bold color and the wit of form. Like an invitation to a circus spectacle, the poster floats lightly above the everyday: its letters dance across a brown sky, and the acrobats are suspended in a perpetual moment of motion. The graphic tells a story of 1970s Poland with both irony and flair, highlighting the theatricality and energy of the period.The poster can be displayed in a spacious living area, above a low sideboard or in a dining zone, where its color and dynamic composition can stand out. It pairs well with other examples of Polish design: classic furniture from the 1970s, minimalist lighting, or a collection of poster art. It
