DescriptionCroatian artist Boris Bućan established his name with the sophisticated, multi-sheet screenprint posters he created for a wide range of cultural events in Zagreb from the late 1960s. He typically championed his sometimes surreal and humorous images, often only tangentially related to the subject, over the lettering. By the 1980s, when he designed this poster for an exhibition at the Karas Gallery in Zagreb, he had begun to push the typography to the margins of the poster, effectively creating a frame for the central composition. His remarkable graphic designs were often works of art in themselves that could easily compete aesthetically with the cultural events they advertised.On View
