OSPAAAL Week: Day 2


Of all the artists to design posters for OSPAAAL, my favorite my a wide margin is Alfredo Rostgaard (1943-2007). His illustration style and bold use of color show his strong pop art and psychedelic influences which, when combined with the social and political messages in his posters, made for some incredibly striking images.

    I'll have to say Alfredo Rostgaard is my favorite as well. Beautiful work. I wish we could have learned more about him before his passing.
