Henryk Tomaszewski, the famous Polish poster designer, continued to make posters during WW2 and the German occupation of Poland. During this time, while materials were very scarce, Henryk continued to create with just paper, scissors and some ink. He created his signature style from this period and continued to make his epic theatre posters until his death in 2005.
I am reminded warmly of Henryk's soul, everytime Adobe and Mac release some redesign of a product or software.
All right, I kinda slept on this one.
Come to Greene Contemporary tonight on Clinton Street in the Lower East Side for the reception, open through Feb. OPENING TONIGHT, JAN 7th, 6-9pm.
It's Matt McGunniess, it's art, it's smart, it's free.

"The exhibition, La Montaña Rusa, consists of a new work of the same name, which alludes to both a roller coaster and a bed, juxtaposed with other new sculptures and a group of drawings. The exhibition investigates Los Carpinteros' interest in objects of domesticity, as exemplified by items such as beds, swimming pools and shelves...."
Google them and try to find the PBS piece on Cuban art. Los Carpinteros get extra love for "reclaiming" most of their early materials from the vacant mansions in Cuba.
