Born in Vienna, he spent a few months at the Viennese Art Academy before setting off to travel through Italy, Morocco, Tunisia, and Nepal.

The no-nonsense, straight-lined architecture of the postwar era was unbearable for the highly sensual artist. He found inspiration in the winding, colourful architecture by the Catalan Antoni Gaudi, as well as the French autodidact Facteur Cheval.

This vibrant poster also has metallic accents on the jacket buttons and background. It is shrink-wrapped and mounted on foam core, now with light wear to the corners of the plastic, while retaining the image and paper. less
