The framed cover of the May 1961 issue of 'Ty i JA' magazine stands as an iconic example of Polish modernist graphic design, created by Roman Cieślewicz. The composition, presented in a matte black frame measuring 30 x 40 cm, features a restrained yet striking palette: a warm, slightly yellowed off-white, characteristic of aged paper, forms the background for the bold title rendered in black, red, green, and purple. At its centre is a black silhouette of a woman's head in profile, with vivid red lips and a stylized bouquet of green, red, and purple flowers at the base. A small black figure of a man in a suit and bowler hat provides narrative and scale contrast. Ornamental, baroque-inspired black corner decorations frame the central image, enhancing its artistic and vintage character. Subtle yellowing and minor discolorations hint at the passage of time, but both the artwork and the frame remain in very good condition.This design embodies the spirit of the 1960s: modernist restraint is interwoven with surreal imagination and decorative finesse. The 'Ty i JA' cover speaks in the language of an era when the Polish School of Poster Art gained international acclaim, telling a story of longing for modernity and the ability to communicate through metaphor and graphic shorthand. The juxtaposition of the monumental female profile with the delicate male figure, surrounded by flowers and ornamental corners, evokes a playful dialogue between convention and imagination, everyday life and the poetic.The framed cover will work well in a living room or home library, acting as an artistic focal point against a light wall or alongside contemporary furniture. It can be paired
