His design team produced 35 sports posters of this kind to advertise the games, using the official design colours and also including the logo and \"München 1972\". The design team used a technique called \"posterization\" for the graphics on the posters, separating the tonal qualities from the images in a manual process and using the official Munich colours for these games.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthenticity supported by the original Edition Olympia 1972 GmbH copyright line, ‘Printed in Germany’ statement, official Munich Olympic emblems and printed Kokoschka signature.\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 40 in x 25.2 in (101 cm x 64 cm)\u003cbr\u003eCondition: some rough edges and light marks, see photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOskar Kokoschka was an Austrian-born British artist and one of the leading figures of European Expressionism. His fast, nervous lines and emotionally charged figure drawing are particularly recognisable here. DACS records him as Austrian-British, living from 1886 to 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe posters were displayed all around the city of Munich and around the Olympic sites. Posters were hung in twos alongside posters designed by famous artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62700100911491,"sku":"LN4Q3","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/DSCF5619.jpg?v=1790335853","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/original-oskar-kokoschka-munich-1972-olympic-art-poster-edition-olympia","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
