Roman Cieslewicz. Zoom presents works by the Polish artist, recently purchased for the collection of Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration
The show features 55 collages, new acquisitions of the museum as well as 16 works borrowed from Chantal Petit-Cieślewicz.
Additional works on loan from public and private collections complement the exhibition and highlight major points in the artist's creative path across various areas of his work, including book and newspaper design, advertising, illustrations and collage.
Considered one of the greatest graphic designers of the second half of the twentieth century, Roman Cieślewicz influenced decisively the development of graphics and posters. He was one of the founding fathers of the so-callled Polish school of poster, characterised by the principles of simplicity and clarity of visual expression, the use of synthetic signs and poetic metaphors and the abundance of different means of expression. Based in Paris from 1963 until his death in 1996, Cieślewicz has undeniably renewed the French graphic landscape.
The exhibition runs from February 1 through May 31, 2011.
Roman Cieślewicz. Zoom is presented as part of the major historical exhibition Polonia. Des Polonais en France depuis 1830 / Polonia. Poles in France After 1830, which takes place at the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration on March 2 - August 28, 2011.
