A whimsical, structural composition from the golden age of the Polish School of Posters
---
### 🎬 The Piece
A towering human pyramid of identical strongmen stacks in a precise triangular formation. Each acrobat dons a striped leotard in warm orange, yellow, and pink tones, topped with a dark bowler hat. This rhythmic repetition draws the eye to the apex.
The letters "C-Y-R-K" appear on the chests of four upper figures, rendered in green to contrast with the warm stripes. The assembly rests on a green watercolor base against a plain cream background.
### ✨ Why It Matters
- Jan Sawka was a renowned figure of the Polish School of Posters, known for surreal humor.
- The CYRK series turned state advertising into a platform for artistic freedom.
- Exemplifies the era's shift toward graphic wit and visual metaphor.
