"Harold Pinter said of the graphic artist Andrzej Klimowski, ""He leads the field by a very long furlong, out on his own, making his own weather. He is Klimowski, unafraid."" In the mid-1970s, Klimowski's fearlessly original artwork caught the eye of leading Polish theatre and film companies, for whom he designed some of the period's most influential and iconic posters. The London-born artist, who moved to Poland at a time when many East Europeans dreamed of going West, went on to create posters for works by filmmakers and playwrights from Scorsese to Altman, Beckett to Brecht. Drawing on folk art, Polish Surrealism and the work of his mentor at the Warsaw Academy, Henryk Tomaszewski, Klimowski uses techniques including photomontage and linocut to create posters that are filled with metaphor, drama and originality. The Klimowski Poster Book compiles the best of his Polish work, while also tracing his career after his return to London, where he remains Emeritus Professor of Illustration at the Royal College of Art."

Reviews for Klimowski Poster Book

I savor everything about the Klimowski Poster Book by Andrzej Klimowski... Of course, I admire the freedom of poster conception, particularly the reinterpretations of mid-1970 (and after) American films, such as The Godfather, Nashville, Taxi Driver and Stranger Than Paradise, among many others. Steven Heller, Print Magazine online The Klimowski Poster Book is perfect for film buffs and design enthusiasts alike, highlighting the artist's techniques including photomontage and linocut to create posters that are filled with metaphor, drama, and originality.
