Cyrk

Step into the whimsical world of Polish circus art with this rare and original 1974 “Cyrk” poster, designed by Waldemar Świerzy — one of the great masters of 20th-century graphic design.

This striking image of a tuxedo-clad bear pedaling a tiny bicycle blends elegance and absurdity, strength and style, humor and surrealism. It embodies the spirit of the Polish “Cyrk” series: imaginative, metaphorical, and visually bold.

Far from conventional advertising, Cyrk posters were commissioned to reinvent the image of the circus in communist Poland. These works, often surreal and symbolic, were created by some of the country's most celebrated graphic artists. Świerzy, who designed over 2,500 posters in his lifetime, is among the most revered.

Today, original Cyrk posters are highly sought after by collectors and design lovers around the world. This authentic 1974 edition is a true collector’s piece — a unique blend of cultural history and timeless visual impact.
