Cieslewicz CCCP USA 1968

Roman Cieslewicz1968

Two caped superheroes fly out of a yellow field, identical in every line except the letters on their chests.

Roman Cieslewicz (1930 to 1996) designed the image for the cover of Opus International in 1968, published by Georges Fall, Paris. He was art director of Elle from 1965 to 1969 and artistic creator of Opus International from 1967 to 1969. Born in Lwów in 1930 and trained in Kraków, he arrived in Paris in 1963. The Centre Pompidou acquired the work in 1991, and it was shown at the Victoria and Albert Museum's Cold War Modern: Design 1945 to 1970 exhibition in 2008.

On the poster

Two superhero figures in blue costumes and red capes fly forward in bilateral symmetry against a flat cadmium yellow ground. One chest reads "CCCP" in white block letters and the other reads "USA". Everything else is mirrored: the body, the fists, the angle of the cape. The type is white and the outlines are hard black.

Our restoration process

History has wrinkles. We have standards.

A century or two can be unkind to a poster. Folds, tears, stains, fading and the occasional indignity of terrible storage.

Each print begins with historic artwork, carefully restored using the latest digital tools and restoration techniques. Damage is addressed, colours refined and details recovered, while respecting the original composition, lettering and character.

The result? All the charm of the original, without having to live with its unfortunate accidents.

Paper and print details

Good art deserves good paper.

Each poster is printed to order using professional giclée printing techniques and archival pigment inks on 200gsm enhanced matte fine art paper.

The natural white, smooth matte finish reduces glare while bringing out rich colours and crisp detail. The inks are designed for excellent lightfastness, helping the artwork retain its colour for years to come.
