đŸ¶ CYRK – Dog with Football – 1973 – Original Poster by Danuta Ć»ukowska, Poland Polish School circus art with playful surrealism and pop wit | Lithographic print | 96 × 65 cm | Poland 🎬 Introduction Ć»ukowska’s CYRK design distills the spectacle of the circus into one unforgettable emblem: a broad‑chested brown dog, eyes bright and grin wide, balancing a black‑and‑white football between its forepaws. Against generous white space, jolts of neon‑magenta and lime in the dog’s leg warmers punctuate the composition, while sculptural “CYRK” letterforms rise across a dark header like inflatable stage props. The image is witty yet slightly uncanny—classic Polish School dramaturgy rendered with economy and punch. Created in 1973 for the state-backed CYRK program, the poster exemplifies how Polish designers reframed advertising as cultural symbol-making. Rather than tout a specific act, Ć»ukowska communicates “the circus” through metaphor, color, and typographic theater, producing a graphic that reads instantly from distance and rewards close looking. ✹ Why It Matters The CYRK initiative (1960s–1980s) invited leading artists to craft stand-alone visuals for national circus seasons, yielding a canon prized for humor, elegance, and a hint of the grotesque. Ć»ukowska’s football-balancing canine adds crossover appeal for sports and design collectors alike. Issued in the large B1 street format and pasted citywide, originals were often discarded; surviving 1973 impressions are sought for their strong color, playful typography, and single-image clarity—hallmarks of the Polish School’s global influence. 📐 Poster Details - Year: 1973 - Country: Poland - Size: 96 × 65 cm - Format: Polish B1 - Studio / Publisher: - Designer: Danuta Ć»ukowska 🔎 Condition Good vintage condition overall: clean presentation with light handling creases and a few small tears, including a minor tear at the upper right edge.
