DON'T BELIEVE THEM WHEM THEY SAY: WEAKNESS IS SOMETHING THAT IS INHERIT.

Artforms of Nature by Ernst Haeckel (1904)

Wikipedia:

“Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (February 16, 1834 – August 9, 1919), also written von Haeckel, was an eminent German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin’s work in Germany and developed the controversial recapitulation theory (“ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny”) claiming that an individual organism’s biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarizes its species’ evolutionary development, or phylogeny.“

My friend Charlie read this article (The Insane History of Polish Movie Posters) the other day and ended up sending me a print of one of them, because he knew I'd like it, and he was obviously right. I was so excited to display it I whacked it on the nearest available surface, hence why it's currently hiding behind M&S vouchers. I didn't clock this initially, I was so taken in by the colours, but from the top of the stairs (and a little bit in this picture too) it looks like a face. It's great.

I promise not to turn this into a Polish Poster Blog, but another one of my favourites is the poster for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" by Franciszek Starowieyski. I have a print of it somewhere. I'll level with you - it's quite ugly! You'd think one of the keystones of good design is that the item is pleasing to look at, and this is anything but, so how exhilarating that an artist has the freedom to create something which doesn't conform to that expectation? I think it catches your attention, which makes it very effective nevertheless. For a start, when I saw it on eBay I couldn't stop thinking about it until I purchased it.

Here's the article, and I recommend reading it if only to find out the fascinating reason behind why communist Poland had such a vibrant movie poster design culture.
