DescriptionThis arresting and humorous image of a cat (its glowing, yellow eyes appear to be battery-powered) in an advertisement for Centra Batteries reflects the lively graphic-design culture that emerged in post-war Poland under Communism. The development of the Polish School of Posters in the decades after World War II resulted from the large number of state-funded cultural activities there and the relative artistic freedom that allowed designers to create promotional materials for them. vOn View
