This poster by à la Hune, Paris, from May 1970, feels raw, immediate, like a snapshot of a fleeting thought. I love how the colors, a mix of muted grays and pops of red and orange, create a kind of visual buzz. There's this big, swirling shape in the center, like a flower or a vortex, with splatters of red that add a sense of urgency. The lines are thick and gestural, almost like they were drawn in one continuous breath. Down at the bottom, these squiggly lines look like the ocean. The gray background seeps through, reminding us of the paper it’s printed on. It reminds me a bit of Joan Miró's playful, surreal forms, but with a rougher, more punk-rock edge. It’s like art is a conversation that keeps evolving, with each artist riffing on what came before. Art isn't about perfection; it's about embracing the messy, unpredictable journey of making.
