Mieczysław Berman (1903–1975) was one of the most significant Polish graphic designers. His artistic style was influenced by the art of László Moholy-Nagy, John Heartfield El Lissitsky and Aleksander Rodchenko. He created mostly political photomontages, and political, film and advertising posters. Berman’s works could be found in important collections all over the world, among them at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Getty or LACMA.
