The Grand Iluzjon
If the names Flisak, Mlodozeniec, and Swierzy make your eyeballs go in a tizzy, then you’ll be thrilled to witness the Iluzjon of beautiful Polish movie posters on display at 18 Hewett Street in London this week (Oct. 19-29), compliments of EyeSeaPosters and Protein.
There’s also a special preview night on Oct. 18 where I’m sure the Polish vodka will be honored as well!
Polish Sausage
Ever since I read The Art of the Modern Movie Poster (Chronicle Books, 2009), I’ve been fascinated with European artists — especially Jerzy Flisak, an amazing Polish artist who died in 2008. Not much is known about his personal life, but his beautifully abstract work is unforgettable. Down below, check out his takes on the following movies: El Dorado, The Great Gatsby, Roman Holiday, Two For The Road, Young Frankenstein, and The Conversation.
Flisak Ripoff?
Obviously, I’m not the only Jerzy Flisak fan. Check out the eerie resemblance between Flisak’s 1978 Polish poster for an Italian film called Down and Dirty and that of last year’s Paul Giamatti starrer, Cold Souls. Coincidence? Doubt it.
