Roman CIESLEWICZ (1930-1996) Arrabal - Théâtre Alpha 347, Paris, 1968 Original vintage silkscreen poster Copyright Edition George Fall Opus poster n°6 Imprimerie Serg. Paris 82 x 55 cm Note: Original silkscreen poster designed by Roman Cieślewicz, a major figure in XXᵉ century graphic design, for Théâtre Alpha in Paris. This striking composition, dominated by a bright pink background and a fragmented black-and-white silhouette, perfectly illustrates the artist's hard-hitting, experimental style, blending collage, contrast and strong symbolism. Created for a work by Fernando Arrabal, a playwright emblematic of avant-garde theater, this poster bears witness to the artistic effervescence of the 1960s and the meeting of graphic arts and the contemporary stage. Published by George Fall (Opus poster n°6), it is a sought-after piece as much for its bold aesthetic as for its importance in the history of graphic design and the cultural poster. A fine collector's item, both decorative and steeped in history.
