This original circus poster by Maciej Urbaniec from 1970 exemplifies the Polish School of Poster Art at a time when artistic experimentation and expressive form were at their peak. The composition features a galloping horse, painted with bold, sweeping brushstrokes in shades of brown and ochre. Atop the horse, an acrobat in a vivid red costume with blue accents balances mid-performance, evoking the drama of the circus. The background is dominated by a circular, intense crimson area, painted with energetic, visible strokes, contrasting sharply with the matte white of the upper section. The top of the composition is crowned by the playful, multicolored inscription “CYRK”, anchored below by the bold, black word “RADZIECKI”. The matte surface reveals a tactile, painterly texture, and the artist’s discreet signature “URBANIEC” appears in the lower left corner. The poster is preserved in very good condition, showing no visible signs of restoration or damage.This poster echoes the spirit of the 1970s, when Polish poster art moved beyond pure advertising to become a field for expressive freedom and artistic innovation. The image pulses with energy—each painterly gesture capturing the intensity and suspense of the circus arena, while the saturated red background suggests the charged atmosphere of a grand spectacle.

It can be framed in a simple black box frame to highlight its painterly quality and separate the saturated
