Subtext of Polish Posters
A few have commented on how these posters don’t make sense in context of the films they were portraying. This is very true, but Its important to understand that these film posters were also being used as a form of reverse propaganda against an extremely oppressive Communist regime. It was one of the only “approved” forms of commercial art so its designers used it as a vehicle to attack their oppressors indirectly, as well as convey the general unhappiness of an entire nation.
Absolutely fascinating.
