WEB POSTER EXHIBITION - Mieczyslaw Wasilewski
The idea to show posters of the polish graphic designer
Mieczyslaw Wasilewski in the Internet
arose spontaneously at a party in Warsaw where I met him by chance. I had
admired his posters for a long time and because many of them are black and white,
I thought it would be technically easy to put them into the web. Also
he had just finished a kind of summary of his work in form of a poster,
showing small reproductions of 100 posters, magazine covers and drawings, so the
material was ready to be scanned in. Wasilewski also quickly selected his twelve
favorite works, and that is what I planned to show.
However, when I started to assemble the exhibition
and began to browse through my own collection and through the publications
on his work,
I found more and more of his posters,
and began to discover things in them
that had escaped me till now,
and I became quite excited and that's why
it is now much bigger
than I ever intended.
But please take the trip through
Wasilewski's poster world yourself !
