The framed press collage “LATO” from 1964 is a wall decoration created on paper, set in a minimalist black frame measuring 30 x 40 cm. The composition reflects the mid-century modern style with strong pop-art influences, characteristic of 1960s Polish visual culture. At the center, two women appear in expressive, patterned dresses with abstract floral motifs, rendered in painterly textures across saturated purples, yellows, reds, and greens on a cream-beige background. The upper section features a cut-out 'LATO' inscription in black, red, and purple, surrounded by a butterfly illustration and whimsical graphic flourishes. The dresses evoke a satiny finish, while the overall graphic language embraces the era’s experimental spirit. The collage remains in very good condition, with no visible damage, discoloration, or signs of restoration.This piece channels the voice of 1960s Poland, when press graphics combined optimism with bold color play. The dynamic female figures, their apparel, and the playful typography recall a time when fashion and art offered a realm of freedom and expression within the realities of socialist daily life. The paper retains a sense of age, yet the palette remains vivid—as if “LATO” still promises a season of possibility and creative adventure.The collage may be paired with other examples of mid-century graphic design—posters, magazines, or typography—to form a collector’s gallery wall. It also works as a standalone accent in a living room, study, or bedroom, especially against a light or solid-colored wall. One could combine it with furniture of simple form and vintage glass or ceramics to highlight its energy and historical character.The collage is made on paper and framed to 30 x 40
