The 'Kung-Fu' film poster, designed by Andrzej Pągowski in 1979, is an emblematic example of the late 1970s Polish School of Poster Art. The central motif features a hyperrealistic fist rendered in shades of ochre, red, and earthy brown, tightly wrapped with a coarse, twisted rope. A crisp, matte white background creates a powerful contrast, while bold, vertical black lettering on the left introduces the film title and production credits. The designer’s signature and date are located in the lower right of the composition. The matte paper finish, typical of the era’s Polish graphics, measures 98 x 68 cm. The poster surface remains pristine, free from creases, stains, discoloration, or edge wear; this copy is preserved in very good condition.The design offers a vivid commentary from the late 1970s: the tightly bound fist speaks of the era’s tension and drama, yet through a restrained visual language. Pągowski delivers a manifesto of conflict and energy, stripped of ornament, focusing the viewer’s gaze on the raw power of the gesture. The minimalist ground intensifies the potency of the symbol, evoking cinematic notions of struggle, determination, and latent tension characteristic of Polish film graphics at the decade’s close.This type of poster can be displayed with equal effect in modernist settings or curated, retro-inspired collections. It could be framed in a minimalist mount and hung on a smooth, neutral wall—either alone or alongside contemporary artworks, industrial glass, or brushed wood. The forceful interplay of white and earthy tones lends itself as a graphic centerpiece for a home office, living area, or gallery setting, especially when paired with raw materials or industrial lighting, providing a sharp focal point within the space.
