The poster, a versatile marketing tool that has been in use since the 19th century, has been employed for a wide range of purposes, from political events to movies. A well-designed poster possesses numerous layers, transcending mere advertising and making statements about style, history, fashion, and taste at the time. It is these layers that give rise to the poster's potential to be considered a work of art. This captivating book presents a comprehensive collection of 480 posters created by over 200 artists and designers. It traces the evolution of the poster throughout different eras, including art nouveau, Bauhaus, pop art, and contemporary designs. Featured artists include renowned figures such as Alphonse Mucha, Egon Schiele, Pablo Picasso, and Andy Warhol, as well as esteemed designers like Lucian Bernhard, A.M. Cassadre, Saul Bass, Tadanori Yokoo, and Stefan Sagmeister. The book also introduces lesser-known poster designers who have made significant contributions to the field. In addition to showcasing iconic posters, the book explores contemporary advertisements for brands like Calvin Klein, United Colors of Benetton, and Coachella. By delving into the history of the poster, this book offers a fascinating perspective on social developments across the world and illuminates how art styles have evolved over time.
