[Propaganda] Trepkowski, Tadeusz (1914-1954). Nie!

Offset, 95 x 67 cm. In good condition.

Following the devastation of World War II, Warsaw was in ruins. Amid international conflict, Polish artists, including Trepkowski, created posters advocating for peace while the Communist regime focused on rebuilding. Trepkowski's 'Nie!' was the first Polish poster to resonate with American designers*, graphically capturing the horrors of war. It became symbolic of the redemptive power of art, with its imagery compared to wartime photography and widely reproduced in publications such as Life Magazine.
