Mikhail Bulgakov (1891–1940) was a Russian writer, medical doctor, and playwright active in the first half of the 20th century. He is best known for his novel The Master and the Margarita, published posthumously, which has been called one of the masterpieces of the 20th century. Bulgakov wrote many other works for the stage, including this play titled “Molière, or the Conspiracy of the Saints”. The artist for this poster, Wiesław Wałkuski, was born in Poland in 1956, and started his graphic design education at the Warsaw Academy of Art which he attended from 1976 to 1981.

During this period he also worked with visual studio publishers and numerous theater groups producing artworks. In 1987 he commenced his career as a freelance graphic designer. Today, Wiesław Wałkuski has more than 200 posters to his name and he continues his work as a poster designer, illustrator and painter. He still lives and works in Warsaw. His works are presented at major Polish and international poster exhibitions including some at The Weidman Gallery in West Hollywood, USA.
