This is an original vintage poster promoting the Split Summer Festival of 1955, held from July 15 to August 15. It was the second edition of the festival, featuring a diverse program of cultural events, including opera, drama, and ballet performances.
The Split Summer Festival, known as "Splitsko ljeto," is one of Croatia's most significant cultural events, celebrating performing arts in the historic city of Split. Since its establishment in 1954, it has played a vital role in the cultural enrichment of the Dalmatian region, drawing both local and international audiences.
The poster features a striking modernist design, with a dynamic composition of a ballerina in motion, framed by classical architecture. Its bold color scheme and geometric shapes capture the energy and elegance of the performances.
In good condition, it shows some signs of age wear and minor scars but has been professionally conserved and mounted on linen. A rare and visually compelling piece that would make an excellent addition to any collection of mid-century design or European cultural history.
