One of my motivations behind the blog is to find out more about European posters to make sense of things like the Van Sabben catalogue for example.
Euro posters tend to pop or flop pick out a couple of poppers
Spain is not known for its major works but take this simple travel poster
Its a cartoony, gothic magical image that really makes you want to go and see those ……. caves. Compare that to some of the railway posters for northern Europe’s Grottes de Han from the same period
This one by Julian Lacaze is a bit mundane by comparison. This poster is also close to my heart as it was one of my first purchases when I first got into the hobby.
Tomorrow we will go to Russia to understand why the Christies sale each year is full of Constructivist posters.
