About the Poster:
This original 1985 George Grosz Berlin Years Poster was published by the esteemed Mazzotta Editore to promote the landmark retrospective held at Palazzo Reale. The poster reproduces Grosz’s cynical 1920 ink drawing titled Comizio (The Meeting), capturing a shouting political agitator addressing a crowd. The background elements satirize Weimar society's post-war desires, showing a floating vision of a roast chicken, wine, and a quiet home. The bottom section contains elegant Italian publication typography, featuring clean institutional fonts identifying the historical Berlin-era collection under the curation of Serge Sabarsky.
