Polish JAZZ Story
As the political system in Poland after World War II greatly influenced the development of Polish poster design; the affairs of State also strongly shaped the history of Polish jazz. During the Communist era, the political milieu generally affected poster and jazz art in a parallel fashion. However, the fall of Communism, which ended the golden age of Polish poster art, precipitated growth in Polish jazz.
Award winning Polish artist / designer Waldemar Swierzy (1931-2013), whose style has been described as often shocking, unusual concepts; myriad of styles: folk art from the 50’s, pop art from the 60’s, portraits from the 70’s, & TV images from the 80’s, often designed posters of the American Jazz pioneers.
