About the Artist:
Waldemar Świerzy was a distinguished Polish graphic artist, renowned for his contributions to the Polish School of Posters. Born in Katowice in 1931, Świerzy graduated from the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts in 1952 and went on to become a professor at the University of Fine Arts in Poznań and the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. His innovative approach to poster design led to the creation of over 2,500 posters, making him one of the most prolific artists of his time. Świerzy’s work, which often mirrored Polish social history from the 1950s through the 1980s, is celebrated for its bold use of various techniques and styles, ranging from folk art to pop art.
Świerzy’s most famous series includes his Jazz Greats lithographs, which featured iconic figures like Louis Armstrong and Ray Charles. His artwork has been displayed in major international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, and has garnered numerous prestigious awards, such as the Grand Prix Tolouse-Lautrec in Paris and gold medals at the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw. His enduring legacy as a master of poster art continues to influence and inspire artists worldwide.
