A poster advertising the Polish Circus in 1970. Circus was a state-funded art in Poland, and the graphic design it inspired was as varied and imaginative as the circus acts themselves. Hubert Hilscher's acrobatic and decorative lion is a creature that can be compared to the animals in his famous zoo posters - colourful, wild, aggressive and funny.
