This original circus poster by Marian Stachurski from 1964 stands as a quintessential example of the Polish School of Poster Art at the height of its creative power. The composition features two stylized clowns in dynamic, acrobatic poses set against a vivid green background, with a sweeping red ribbon imparting rhythm and depth. One clown, dressed in a yellow polka-dot shirt and blue trousers, balances on his hands atop the monumental 'CYRK' inscription; the other, in a striped jacket adorned with an emblem, juggles a black-and-white polka-dotted ball. Their faces, with pronounced red cheeks, evoke folk masks, emphasizing the influence of Polish folk art. At the bottom, the decorative 'CYRK' lettering in black and white, rendered in a baroque-inspired style with ornate, botanical motifs, creates a stage for the figures. The poster’s surface is smooth and well-preserved, with the artist’s signature clearly visible along the left edge and publisher information at the bottom. The condition is very good, with no visible damage or discoloration.Within this composition, the voice of the 1960s is unmistakable: an era that sought to blend optimism, color, and anecdote in graphic art. The poster speaks in the language of playfulness and theatricality—geometric discipline paired with the exuberance of folk-inspired expression. The sweeping red ribbon guides the viewer’s gaze like a curtain
