His images, his typography, his layouts never convey indifference. They look out at the world, characterize the age, bear witness, speak of disquiet and shame and sometimes of horror. They carry extreme critical exaltation into the realms of terror itself. They cut the easy conscience to the heart.Roman Cieslewicz is considered one of the twentieth century's most influential poster artists. In his interview with Margo Rouard-Snowman, he lamented that "Posters need powerful occasions and significant subjects, which they don't find at the moment. As a means of communication they belong to another age and have very little future."In 1955 Roman Cieslewicz graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow. He was predominantly a (politically conscious) poster designer. He and his colleagues Julian Palka, Waldemar Swierzy, Jan Lenica, Henryk Tomaszewski and others made more than 200 Polish film posters a year. He migrated to France in 1963 and was naturalized in 1971. As well as posters he designed books, magazines and displays. He was art director of Elle and Vogue and of the advertising agency Maffia. By using photography, collage, screen-printing, typography and other media, he created a new vocabulary of graphic expression.He designed for the magazines Opus International (1967–69) and Kitsch (1970–71). The Musée des Art Décoratifs, Galeries Lafayette, Hachette, the Centre Pompidou, and the Musée Picasso were among his clients. His exhibitions were held in major cities all over the world. Throughout his career, Cieslewicz received many medals and honours. [via AGI by Ben and Elly Bos]
