One sheet original art poster for the 1976 Summer Olympics held in Montreal, Canada. This specific piece features a vibrant abstract design of irregular pink, green, and blue lines on a black background.
Poster Details
Artist: The abstract artwork is by Canadian artist Jacques Hurtubise.
Design Agency: Produced by Burton Kramer Associates Ltd..
Collection Context: This poster was part of a series commissioned by the federal government to showcase contemporary Canadian art for the Games.
Official Marking: The top of the poster bears the text "Canada 1976 Olympiques Olympics," and the bottom features the official 1976 Montreal Olympics logo.
Hurtubise was known for his "electric" use of color and jagged, agitated lines that often created optical effects. Similar works by the artist from this period include titles like Déborah, Delicia, and Dianamauve, which share the same characteristic silkscreen style. |
