Description from the seller
This Polish poster from 1968, created by Hubert Hilscher, advertises an opera titled "Francesca da Rimini".
Artist: Hubert Hilscher
Year: 1968
Subject: The theatrical work "Francesca da Rimini"
Polish posters have become iconic examples of mid-century graphic design, even though they are original editions commissioned by the communist state to promote cultural events, being the artists’ only means of expression of the era, a sublime protest against the regime shines through. Hand-printed, very often the color tones varied in intensity.
This poster comes from a small Venice gallery, “centro posters and gadgets,” closed in 1971, which mainly dealt with posters and pop art.
Excellent condition despite the years
The work is accompanied by the invoice and by certificates of authenticity and provenance.
