Project of Poster the Center of Textile Workers in Belgium Celebration on 18Th September — Fine Art

The poster design for the Center of Textile Workers in Belgium opens with a crowd of workers gathered for a celebration. Solid forms stand in the middle and a painted ground holds them. Rene Magritte brought his surrealist painting practice to this public announcement.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. A dark frame on a pale wall lets the solid forms stand out. The matte surface keeps the greys soft and stops glare under a lamp. You see the clear outline of each figure against the painted ground without shine.

On a hallway wall at shoulder height the figures read clearly from the door. A single figure turns toward the group and the painted ground settles the scene before the staircase.
