Symposium Research 3 - TOPIC: The Influence of Poster Art Schools

Information:
One major contribution to the influence of new poster styles in 1956 were Polish art schools. These schools would teach artists how to hand paint each poster, and would make the difference between designer and artist non existent. While the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute, as well as the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts each influenced artists with new styles, the Polish School of Posters influenced artists with the use of art fundamentals. 
Posters developed by artists from the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute focused more on creating geometric images. Heavily inspired by the west, these posters take a less realistic approach to art.  On the contrary, the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts encouraged artists to play with these new realistic ideals, however to stay true to the Soviet realism. A third school which heavily influenced artists was the Polish School of Posters. However, rather than focusing in on a style, this school focuses on art fundamentals, such as vibrant colors, fantasy, individuality, as well as linear quality. As a result, posters created by artists of this school have an aesthetic tension between the individual style of it. Influencing the world on yet a new way to suggest topics through allusion.
