The theatrical poster 'Wizje Simony Machard', designed by Henryk Tomaszewski in 1963, stands as a refined example of the Polish School of Poster Art from the 1960s. The composition is built upon two distinct color fields: a deep, matte blue at the top and a saturated red at the bottom, which serve as a backdrop for the central, realistically rendered crumpled sheet of paper. The creases and shadows are depicted with precise attention to detail, lending a three-dimensional quality. The play's title, 'Wizje Simony Machard', is written in expressive, hand-drawn black typography across the paper, intensifying the sense of drama. Above the paper, on the blue field, the minimalist inscription 'Teatr Dramatyczny' appears almost imperceptibly, while the red base is signed with 'Brecht' in a simple serif font. The design is characterized by a clear structure, strong color contrasts, and modernist form, all hallmarks of Tomaszewski’s work. The poster is printed on matte paper with no gloss. Condition is excellent, with no visible damage, discoloration, or signs of wear.This poster carries the voice of avant-garde Poland in the 1960s: it speaks with the language of experimentation, boldness, and intentional form.

Typography here is not mere information but pure expression—as
