It was during the communist regime, a time when culture was closely monitored by the state, that Polish artists found liberation in poster art. Ironically,  this foremost public art form became ground for individual expression. During that period,  the cultural institutions, of theatre and cinema especially, flourished as they were funded by government agencies. Artists freshly out of the fine arts academy flocked towards poster production as the demand for this art was rapidly growing. The result became some of the most unique and expressive posters the world has ever seen - and artworks in themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoster has a rip on the bottom and ruffle margins.

Miro’s surrealist style was born from his use of automatic drawing – a way to undo previous established techniques in painting. Miro and Andre Masson were considered the beginning of the Surrealist movement but Miro chose not to be labeled as a Surrealist  in order to be free of experiment with other artistic movements\/styles. He eventually pursued his own interests and ideals; as displayed by his involvement in the Surrealist, Expressionist and Color Field movements.\" (Source: Joan Miro Art)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis poster is in great condition, with slight staining on top.
