{"product_id":"jazz-festival-willisau-85","title":"Jazz Festival Willisau","description":"\u003cp\u003eNiklaus Troxler's poster for the 1985 Willisau Jazz Festival captures the explosive energy of improvised music through pure visual abstraction. The fragmented figure, composed of bold orange, green, and blue geometric shapes, seems to dance off the white ground, its raised hands and dynamic posture embodying the spontaneity at the heart of jazz performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTroxler founded the Willisau festival in 1966 and designed its posters annually, creating one of the most celebrated series in contemporary graphic design. This 1985 edition documents an impressive lineup including guitar legend John McLaughlin with Jonas Hellborg, avant-garde composer Carla Bley with her Euro-American Big Band, and saxophonist Steve Lacy. The program text, organized with characteristic Swiss precision on the right, contrasts beautifully with the expressive chaos of the central figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA museum-quality example of late twentieth-century poster design, this piece represents the moment when Swiss graphic tradition embraced expressive freedom while maintaining its commitment to clarity and impact. A standout piece for collectors of contemporary design or jazz history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50.0\" x 35.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Niklaus Troxler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
