A great book filled with beautiful poster designs from all around the world during 1983-84. A great reference specifically for 1980’s poster design that isn’t quite the hyper-colorful stuff from the later 80’s everyone would expect.
Excerpt from preface: “The cover picture by Holger Mathies—a brightly coloured armchair sitting complacently in a brown field—symbolizes one essence of poster art: the injection of light and color into an often dull daily round. Of course posters are primarily intended to sell products or to draw attention to exhibitions or performances, but behind this primary function a second raison d’être is concealed: the artistic dimension gives the poster a second life beyond its immediate purpose. And the artistic value of the poster is nowadays recognized. This book presents the most outstanding poster achievements from 33 countries on 204 pages (110 of them in color). Once more, Polish poster art is very well represented.”
