New York Times , August 30, 2012 Jan Sawka, Polish Artist, Dies at 65 "Mr. Sawka studied art, printmaking and architecture during a period of political ferment throughout Eastern Europe, including the widespread student protests throughout Poland in 1968 that set off a brutal government crackdown on dissidents. His poster designs for avant-garde theater groups became well known for their wordplay and their deadpan style, in which symbols of protest were often stitched into the graphics." Poster shown from 1980 Included in MOMA's collection of posters.
