Barbara "Basha" Baranowska is a Polish artist, known for designing book covers and movie posters, with her most well-known art being the poster for the 1981 film Possession.[1]

Career

[edit]

Baranowska studied painting at the Krakow Academy of Fine Arts during the 1950s, being one of only a handful of women associated with the so-called Polish School of Posters of the 1950s and 1960s. She started out designing book jackets — in particular, a series of covers for works by Adolf Rudnicki.[1].

She had a cameo in Janusz Morgenstern's 1960 film Goodbye, See You Tomorrow.[2]. In the 1970s she created French posters for multiple films, including Slaughterhouse-Five, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and her most famous, Possession.[1].
