The film poster 'Street of Shame,' designed by Waldemar Świerzy, is an official limited reedition of the 1959 original, issued in 2022 in a series of 500 copies. The A1 format (84.3 × 58.8 cm) reveals all the hallmarks of the Polish School of Poster Art: a dominant deep cobalt blue fills the background and central figure, contrasted by matte black planes, creamy whites, and splashes of matte red. A violet accent in the hair and painterly, uneven brushstrokes reinforce its hand-drawn character. The poster is offset printed on high-quality, uncoated art paper, with a matte finish and expressive, hand-drawn, asymmetrical typography. Świerzy’s concept communicates tension and drama—expressive color structures and deliberately exaggerated proportions create a visual narrative of marginalization and courage. Abstract, cubist references and traces of folk art vocabulary amplify the emotional impact. Bold brushwork and direct composition become a signature of the late-1950s Polish avant-garde. This poster is suited to contemporary interiors with a strong, curated spirit. It pairs well with light, minimalist furniture to bring out its color depth, or against raw materials—concrete, natural wood, deep blacks. The image becomes a visual focal point, working well hung solo on a neutral wall, in the company of a brass lamp or alongside art books that emphasize its artistic lineage. The poster is offset-printed on premium uncoated matte paper, A1 size. Prior to dispatch, each copy is rolled and packed in a durable cardboard tube for secure shipping.
