Abstract

Abstract work in commercial print spans a wider range than most people expect, from the gestural painting of artists like André Masson and Serge Poliakoff translated directly into exhibition posters, to the bold graphic invention of designers like Niklaus Troxler, whose Jazz Festival work from the 1980s pushed Swiss poster design toward something closer to pure visual energy. What connects them is a refusal to represent the world literally. The period originals shown here come from that tradition across several decades and countries.
