The framed press collage 'ELASTYCZNOŚĆ' (Flexibility) by HIRO, created in 1965, is a representative example of Polish graphic art from the 1960s. The work is rendered in a mid-century modern style with constructivist influences, presented in a minimalist matte black frame measuring 30 × 40 cm with sharply defined edges. The collage is printed on subtly yellowed paper typical of the era, featuring a monochromatic palette of black, white, and grey, punctuated by striking red and pink accents. Its composition is built from dynamic, cut-out photographic figures of children in acrobatic poses, complemented by a stylized hand and bold, sans-serif typography characteristic of 1960s Polish design. The collage surface is matte and smooth, bearing a natural vintage patina without visible damage or creasing. Both frame and glass are in very good condition, free from scratches or chips – the condition is described as very good.This piece echoes the voice of Poland’s avant-garde of the 1960s, when graphic experimentation and photomontage became tools for narrating a world in motion. The cut-out figures of children appear to dance midair, while translucent circles and geometric arrangements impart lightness, contrasted by the assertive sans-serif typography.
