Today we invite you to a meeting with art online, the topic of which is "Polish School of Poster". The event is part of a series of lectures entitled. "Art for the strengthening of the heart" organized by the Artistic Journey of Hestia Foundation.
A good poster, that is, what kind of poster?
A good poster is more than just an advertising medium - it can be art, or even a work of art! Poland has a long and interesting tradition in this field. "Polish School of Posters" is a very capacious and ambiguous category - however, it is assumed that it refers to the thriving development of domesticposter art of the period from the 1950s to the 1970s. Although the projects created at that time were stylistically very diverse, their common features, however, were conciseness and economy of form, ironic humor and innovative lettering. To this day, communist-era graphics are making waves around the world, and numerous Polish versions of posters for major Hollywood films are considered more interesting than the original ones.

Meetings for everyone
Anyone can take part in the meetings organized by the APH Foundation and its patron, ERGO Hestia Insurance Company. All that is needed is access to the Internet. The goal of the APH Foundation is to impart knowledge in a way that everyone can understand, and to arouse interest in both Polish and foreign culture. As the organizers state:
We know that artistic activities have great potential: they motivate action, stimulate imagination and awaken creativity. Taking a look at the best artistic realizations from around the world will help to gain distance from the surrounding world, problems and tasks.
