This poster by Maciej Żbikowski features the cover of the Polish “Jazz” magazine from May 1969, standing as a notable example of postwar Polish graphic design rooted in the modernist ethos of the 1960s. The composition centers on a geometric gramophone, its bold circular horn adorned with a stylized floral motif. The palette is deliberately restrained: cool blue, matte black, and off-white organize the image within a clear, mid-century modern rhythm. The masthead utilizes large blue letters, balanced by minimalist block text, resulting in a concise and disciplined arrangement. Framed in a simple, matte black frame measuring 30 × 40 cm, the poster's graphic strength is further emphasized. The paper reveals authentic traces of time—minor creases, light abrasions, and subtle discolorations are most apparent on the lighter sections. The piece remains in very good collectible condition for an archival print of this era, with no signs of restoration.The artwork resonates with the spirit of late 1960s Warsaw, where the geometric gramophone and abstract floral motif echo a fascination for musical rebellion, artistic liberty, and the modernist love of stripped-down form. The minimalist visual language suggests a space between sound and shape, evoking the energetic pulse and experimental flair of the Polish jazz scene. Slight imperfections—small folds and vintage patina—illustrate a history marked by creative unrest and improvisation, as though the print has preserved the echo of an unexpected solo from a vinyl record.The framed cover can be displayed alongside other prints from the Polish School of Poster Art or mid-century minimalist graphics, forming an evocative wall gallery in the living room, home library, or music study.
