On this episode of our ‘Graphic Designers You Should Know About in 50 Seconds’ series, we look at the impactful career of Waldemar Świerzy. Świerzy is celebrated as one of the founding fathers of Polish School of Poster.

His legacy extends to his mastery in blending painting and illustration in poster design, making him one of the finest in this art form. Świerzy’s posters uniquely combine elements of abstract art, pop art, and folk art. His work gained immense popularity, with his Mazowsze poster being printed over a million times and his Clown Face with Derby poster becoming a postage stamp in Poland.
